Never Stop Exploring.

Transformative travel isn’t just reserved for your twenties. With life experience, it can be even more rewarding. Volunteering abroad over 40 with GIVE opens the door to traveling like a local, connecting with communities, and making your adventures more meaningful.

Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter, craving something more meaningful than a resort vacation, or simply feeling the pull to reconnect with the world in a deeper way, a GIVE trip meets you exactly where you are. If you’re traveling with a partner, friend, or looking for groups for solo travelers over 40, we’ve got you covered.

Live and volunteer alongside welcoming local communities who will remind you what really matters. Embark on off-the-beaten-path adventures that most travelers never get to experience. Surround yourself with a diverse, passionate group of fellow travelers who share your curiosity and care for the world.
