Who we are
and why we do what we do
GIVE’s Mission: To inspire growth, empower global citizens, and ignite sustainable change worldwide.
GIVE’s Promise: People, Projects & Principles Above Profit
With over 10 million people volunteering abroad each year and more than a thousand different organizations offering volunteer programs abroad, it’s no surprise that one of the most common questions we hear is, “What makes GIVE different?” In fact, it was this very question that inspired GIVE’s founding in 2011. After witnessing the good, the bad and the downright ugly sides of the volunteer tourism industry, we ultimately determined that there is real potential for international volunteers to have positive impacts in lower-income countries, but it would require a fresh, focused approach to truly foster sustainable change. That’s why we’ve made a lasting commitment to put people, projects and principles above profit. SEE MORE
GIVE’s Family: Happy People Sail Fast
This principle is clearly manifested in both our host community members and volunteers, and it all starts with our unrivaled team of staff. The GIVE family is a concept we’ve fostered since day one, as we’ve established a clear pipeline for international staff to learn and grow over several years of experience in the field. All of our international staff started as GIVE volunteers, gained necessary certifications and skill sets during GIVE’s WILD course, went on to increase their involvement as in-country interns, and are now facilitating an unparalleled volunteer experience as GIVE Guides and Project Coordinators. We are also proud to employ local Guides and Project Coordinators in each of our destinations, who act as a critical link between our volunteers and the communities we empower. These are truly some of the most passionate, responsible and inspiring human beings on the planet! SEE MORE.
