The Alumni Ambassador Program

Been on a GVI Program and Want to Stay Involved?

As previous GVI volunteers, our Ambassadors play a critical role in helping people make the connection to international conservation and community development efforts.  Future volunteers look to our Ambassadors for what it's really like traveling with GVI; to determine if they really CAN make a difference in the world.

Over 95% of our participants express that they would participate on another GVI program and have described their experiences as: “Eye-opening”, “Awe-inspiring”, “Mind-blowing”, and for most, “Addictive”.  That’s why we created the Ambassador Program!  Our goal is to keep our volunteers part of the GVI Family in a way that is beneficial to them and to others who are intrigued by our work.

How to get involved/How to learn more: If you’re a recent volunteer who has talked your friends’ and family’s ears off with the stories from your trip and can’t seem to stop, it’s time to reach out to us!  Being an Ambassador couldn’t be easier and it’s a wonderful way to get back out in the field simply by doing what you do best: telling the world about your experiences!  Please send an email to outreach@gviworld.com or contact your nearest GVI Head Office for more information.

How it works: Ambassadors start by reviewing their program(s) and working with our team to set up a simple profile which can be featured on the GVI website for viewers’ reference.  After that, Ambassadors can get involved with local or online projects as they are able, and in return are provided with GVI travel credit.  Returning volunteers can be part of the Ambassador Program for years, months, or even just a day if they prefer!  It’s designed to be easy, fun and rewarding.
