Volunteer around the world. For free.

Competition Introduction

GVI has launched an international competition to send one person around the world for one year, with flights, volunteering on a range of long-term, sustainable GVI programs and expeditions...

What do I need to do?

You will have to complete 5 different stages, competing with other entrants. Throughout the competition, your entries will go to a public vote which will determine your progression to the next round. Those not making the cut will unfortunately be eliminated.

If you are fun, outgoing, inspiring and have a passion for volunteer travel, then this competition is for you! By the time your year-long experience has finished, you will see first-hand how you and hundreds of other GVI volunteers make a difference all over the world.

Just ask the previous winner of a GVI round the world trip...

This years competition has now finished. Congratulations to our winner Claudia Lifton-Schwerner! Keep checking back with GVI for updates on news, new programs and competitions!
