Amazing experience!!! My GIVE trip to Hawai’i was unforgettable. I loved getting to meet new and like-minded people who have the same interests as me. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to volunteer with local nonprofit organizations while also getting to experience a new culture. I am thankful for the opportunity I got to learn about the unique Hawaiian agriculture while also being able to help out at local nonprofit farms. The GIVE guides made sure everyone had what they needed and let us all know what to do to make sure we acted in a respectful manner when introduced to different cultural experiences. 💚

Beyond my most Optimistic Expectations I cannot say enough great things about this Nicaragua trip in Winter 2023-24. The way it was organized, the amount of insanely amazing things we did, our amazing guides that absolutely cared for us every step of the way, just everything was incredible. Just some of the top tier life experiences were climbing an active volcano to see a gorgeous sunset view, sand boarding down a volcano, surfing, mangrove planting, a baby sea turtle release, incredibly fun dance parties, and that's just scratching the surface of all the fun things we did. You will meet so many people that you will get extremely close with over your time on the trip. Additionally, I felt totally in good hands with my guides Mike, Kerri, Megan, and Moises that made sure we were supervised, fed 3 great meals a day, and always checked up on us. If you are on the fence about going on a GIVE trip, I 100% suggest you go because it WILL change your life and it WILL be one of the greatest memories of your entire life.

Amazing Trip! This trip was so awesome, it had such an impact on me. I had so much fun and met so many lifelong friends. Everyone on the tip was so much fun and like-minded. When booking the trip I was concerned about safety during the trip and honestly I felt so safe the whole trip, you have rides everywhere and stay in safe accommodations. The people at give answered all of questions and were so helpful when I booked my trip and even before that. This trip was so amazing and everyone at give was so helpful and amazing!

Indescribable It is to hard to put into words how amazing this trip was! The guides who truly cared about each and every one of us, and individually facilitated our own self-growth. The countless amazing activities that were organized for us to enjoy, and fit so perfectly into the trip. I felt that we were truly culturally immersed, and there was a lot of mutual respect between us and the communities we were involved in. It was so easy to know that everything was arranged for us, including the most delicious food! It allowed me to really engage myself in the work and fun that we were doing. Meeting like-minded people from all over the world was such a special and beautiful experience.

My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable. From teaching the kids of Sop Chem English and cleaning/planting in the permaculture lot to learning about the culture of Laos, it was two weeks I’ll never forget. It was so eye opening to experience such a different way of life from that which is lived in the States. I gained a new perspective on self-respect and had an incredible time embarking on new adventures every day. I can’t wait for my future GIVE trips!
