Life-changing I loved how GIVE partnered with locals. This maximized the impact, uniqueness, and authenticity of our time spent. I also really enjoyed the perfect combination of excursions and volunteer work. It felt very balanced throughout the days. This experience has changed the way I go about life.

My GIVE experience I absolutely LOVED my GIVE trip. All the people were so welcoming, it was well organized, and the communication was stellar. The volunteer work felt meaningful and the activities that we did were super super fun. My one complaint is that it was not enough service. A 14 day trip with 6 days of service should not be advertised as a volunteer trip. If I had one thing to change about give, it would be to add at least 2 more volunteer days.

My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable. From teaching the kids of Sop Chem English and cleaning/planting in the permaculture lot to learning about the culture of Laos, it was two weeks I’ll never forget. It was so eye opening to experience such a different way of life from that which is lived in the States. I gained a new perspective on self-respect and had an incredible time embarking on new adventures every day. I can’t wait for my future GIVE trips!

GIVE Tanzania My trip with GIVE to Tanzania was absolutely life-changing. The program gave us the opportunity to be completely immersed in the local culture, while feeling comfortable and safe at all times. The GIVE staff is truly incredible and, along with the locals, are some of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege to know. This experience forced me outside of my comfort zone in many ways but was ultimately some of the most fun and rewarding weeks of my life. Work hard play hard is the best way to summarize the trip!

Life Changing Experience... My GIVE trip to Tanzania was life-changing, challenging, and inspiring. The guides are knowledgeable and personable. The locals are kind, fun, and so eager to learn AND share. This program does an exceptional job of immersing you in the culture of your destination and teaching valuable lessons, while also incorporating some of the most thrilling adventures. I highly recommend this trip (or any GIVE trip) to anyone who is looking to travel responsibly, expand their horizons, and push themselves out of their comfort zone.
