#volunteer travel # Volunteer TravelMany of our programs and tours have a volunteer component. We really enjoy this aspect of our trips and believe that the well structured volunteer activities we arrange benefit both our partners and our trip participants. It’s not tokenism – we do not include volunteer activities simply to make our trip participants feel good about themselves. Instead, volunteer projects are planned around the expressed needs of a range of community groups, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Volunteer projects allow our participants to really immerse themselves in a place and share an experience with local people - bridging the gap that often exists between visitor and host. The rewards are tangible and often unexpected. Not only will you return home with a sense of satisfaction from completing the work and having made a difference in the world but also with an intimate understanding of a place and its people. Volunteer Tours and ProgramsPacific Discovery offers the following programs and tours incorporating volunteer projects and elements. Alternatively, if you are interested in a custom volunteer tour for your high school group, university group, family or special interest group, then please contact us, as we are happy to work with you to develop an itinerary that incorporates experiences and excursions to suit your group and focus.
