We believe that, while the project you engage in might be short-term, the impact, results, and influence of your time spent abroad should be lasting.

Financial Transparency
We believe that everyone should be able to afford volunteer travel and understand where your money goes. We itemize every dollar in the “Fees” section on each project page.
