What is voluntouring? Voluntouring is a cultural emersion volunteer experience that gives you a chance to lend a helping hand while experiencing other cultures and countries. Voluntouring creates stimulating, service-oriented vacations.

Voluntourists embark on trips to serve, to learn and help others. They return with new skills, life-experiences, and understanding.

Voluntourism advantages for the individual volunteer:

• Participating in meaningful service and having a deep impact on a community
• Developing new skills
• Interacting with locals and experiencing new cultures
• Seeing and exploring places you typically wouldn't go to as a tourist
• Creating friendships and memories
• Experiencing true satisfaction from your vacation leisure time
