My GIVE experience I absolutely LOVED my GIVE trip. All the people were so welcoming, it was well organized, and the communication was stellar. The volunteer work felt meaningful and the activities that we did were super super fun. My one complaint is that it was not enough service. A 14 day trip with 6 days of service should not be advertised as a volunteer trip. If I had one thing to change about give, it would be to add at least 2 more volunteer days.

GIVE Tanzania My trip with GIVE to Tanzania was absolutely life-changing. The program gave us the opportunity to be completely immersed in the local culture, while feeling comfortable and safe at all times. The GIVE staff is truly incredible and, along with the locals, are some of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege to know. This experience forced me outside of my comfort zone in many ways but was ultimately some of the most fun and rewarding weeks of my life. Work hard play hard is the best way to summarize the trip!

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.

The best trip ever This was definitely the best trip I’ve ever been on. It’s much more personal than traveling as a regular tourist. The unforgettable connections you make with the people in the communities you volunteer in make you never want to leave. I’ve learned many lifelong lessons that I will carry on with me for the rest of my life. I will definitely be volunteering again with GIVE.

A Caring Community The GIVE guides and volunteers made this trip so special. I was constantly surrounded by passionate and loving individuals who made me feel welcomed into the group. Throughout the trip, we met community members who were also so passionate about their work. You could learn so much from each and every one of them!
