Popular volunteer location

When selecting a Global Volunteers location, you may consider community projects, airfare rates, and time of year. But what about another factor: Where you live? No matter which state you call home, we pulled together the most popular Global Volunteer location by state. Where do volunteer travelers in your state serve more than anywhere else?

Check out the map below to find your state’s most popular volunteer location (Global Volunteers location).

Join Us and Other Volunteer Vacationers from Around the Country

Since 1984, Global Volunteers has engaged “volunteer vacationers” in over 110 communities on six continents. That’s taught us many lessons about ethical, responsible volunteer service. And about meaningful travel. If you’re open-minded, service-oriented and light-hearted, we’ve got a place for you – and your family, friends, colleagues or peers. Volunteer worldwide for one, two or three weeks in one of our 17 host countries and return home with deep, informed insights on your place in the world.
