“Granddaddy of the volunteer vacation movement.”
“A model that has been replicated worldwide.”
“Global Volunteers has what are regarded as the best programs in the field.”
“Bud and Michele established Global Volunteers to provide people with an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children around the globe.”
“The work they accomplish meets needs in little-known areas that might not be on the radar of large-scale efforts.”
“Global Volunteers is at the leading edge of the surge in popularity of volunteer vacations.”
“Travel with a conscience and help people on a Global Volunteers journey.”
“It started with a honeymoon in 1979: Michele Gran and Bud Philbrook, two young baby boomers soaked in the idealism of their age, decided to forgo a romantic Caribbean cruise and…help people in a poor mountain village in Guatemala. That lead to them jointly founding Global Volunteers, which (provides) spiritually fulfilling, intellectually stimulating and incidentally tax-deductible volunteer vacations.”
Global Volunteers is one of the oldest nonsectarian organizations to offer short-term “volunteer vacations.”
“Though the volunteers may be vacationers, the aid they bring is real”
