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.

CAAmazing 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!

GBGo GIVE! I had the best experience with GIVE! I decided to go with GIVE volunteers for my first trip out of the country without my parents and I am so glad I did. Not only did I get to experience parts of Thailand I would not have been able to otherwise, but I got to do so without ever worrying about where I was staying, how I was going to get there or what I was going to eat. This trip truly changed my life. I got to experience Thai culture and make connections with kids who barely spoke english. The guides were incredible and I was continually surprised at how intentional each and every part of the trip was. I could not recommend this organization more - I am already saving for my next trip! Also, I have gotten to meet more give people as they come to recruit at my school and everyone is just as kind and fun as my guides in Thailand. Love love love Give!!!

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!
