Family Volunteering

Volunteering overseas as a family may not be everyone’s idea of taking a conventional holiday, yet family volunteering offers one of the most rewarding experiences for everyone involved. Going on a family volunteer holiday is a great way for families to see unique destinations, experience new cultures and see parts of the world the children may never learn about at school.

Volunteering overseas for families offers you the opportunity to volunteer abroad with your nearest and dearest, sharing unique experiences and learning about new places and cultures in an in-depth way that would not be possible on just a holiday.

GVI is pleased to announce that all children under the age of 18 will receive a 1/3rd off the total price on all of our family volunteering projects.

Please note due to the varying group dynamics of different families (for example the number of children and ages of children), each application is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Not many of our projects are suitable for children but the ones we have selected below will give you selection dilemma. Please call us directly to discuss your family’s volunteering requirements.
