Christmas Volunteering with GVI

Volunteer abroad this Christmas. Fed up with tinsel and turkey? Why don’t you join one of our GVI Christmas programs over the festive period in one of the destinations below? All running around the jolliest day of the year, these breaks are a fantastic way for you to bring some festive cheer to deserving communities around the world.

Touring the world much like Santa on his sleigh, this is a great opportunity to do something rewarding and worthwhile over the holiday period on one of our amazing conservation or community projects... and it’ll get you out of the washing up after Christmas lunch!
