Volunteer Abroad Programs

We are celebrated globally for our sustainable projects on the ground and for creating inspiring experiences for our participants.

From the time you fill out your application to the day you start your field work you will be working with our team.  It is this same team that lives and works at our locations year-round to ensure the sustainability of our impact. We believe that this consistency in our volunteer abroad programs creates better, more rewarding and more fulfilling experiences.

Our volunteer abroad programs adapt to the communities’ most urgent needs, by including the local community members in our decision making process and our prioritization of tasks. We foster these relationships to build stronger, healthier communities for the future.

Our volunteer abroad programs are home to some of the most breathtaking and incredible environments in the world. Share in the excitement of tracking a cheetah earlier that morning with your Field Guide deep in the heart of a South African reserve. Study marine ecosystems on the beach next to the crystal blue Caribbean waters of the Yucatan. Wherever you volunteer, our bases are places of profound discovery and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

The GVI spirit comes from all walks of life coming together in one place to achieve a shared goal: improving the quality of life for people on this planet and for the ones that are yet to be born!
