GBAmazing 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. 💚

GBMy 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!

GBDon’t hesitate, book a trip NOW I’ve been on 2 GIVE trips now. I did all of Southeast Asia and 6 months later was back on a plane going to Tanzania. GIVE is the best volunteer travel organization I’ve ever come across and I can’t recommend them enough. I feel 100% safe with them at all times and their staff are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. The Tanzania trip that I just completed was such an amazing, life changing experience that I will never forget. I taught the Kairo locals English and helped with construction projects to build them a school. The people of Kairo are so inspiring and they ignited a sense of purpose in me. This trip opened my eyes, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and taught me a lot about myself and my capabilities. If you’re thinking about doing a trip with GIVE, don’t hesitate!! Book one now, it’s worth every penny. You will NEVER get an experience like the one you will get with GIVE.

GBBeyond 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.

GBGIVE Thailand Thailand with GIVE was a life changing experience for me. I was able to get out of my comfort zone while also meeting like minded people and volunteering for important causes. The small hill tribes and local guides were the kindest people and it was very special getting immersed into their culture and learning their way of life. I made very special connections with the students that we taught and it was amazing to see their hard work and love for learning. Also learning how to be a global citizen and making a positive impact on our earth was special when doing things like working in the permaculture lot. Overall this trip was so special and eye opening and I plan to do more trips with GIVE in the future! I also recommend everyone to go on a trip with GIVE.
