Meaningful Tours

Give Your Time then Go Exploring

Explore some of the most fascinating parts of the world and help people at the same time!

These tours split your time between volunteering and adventure! Help improve the lives of the locals as you explore their country.

Voluntourism

What's Voluntourism? It's a combination of traveling and helping people in other communities. What you get out of it is an adventure in another culture and the satisfaction of knowing that you helped change the lives of the locals.

Voluntourism projects include wildlife and environmental conservation, painting and building up a community, and interacting with orphans and teaching them socials skills. You take part in a project for a specified period of time, like a week. Then, you're off to explore the country!

Below is just a sample of what you can do and where you can go. Talk to your STA Travel Advisor at (877) 311.8959 for more information about what you see and what else is available.
