Want to dedicate time on your next holiday to giving back to local communities? Browse some of the many volunteering opportunities available across the world below.
At Charitable Travel, we want our travellers to #MakeItCount when they travel.

Whether you can spend a few hours helping with a beach clean-up, or lend your skills to a community in need, these voluntourism projects rely on help from volunteers to continue making a positive impact.
Charitable Travel will help you plan and book your next holiday, and can tailor your trip to allow time for these projects, which you will need to arrange directly with the non-profit. Use the filter option below to find projects you can get involved in on your next trip, in regions across the globe.
