A socially conscious travel trip that will bring lasting change to your life!
Socially Conscious Travel is the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry. More and more travelers are looking for a deeper travel experience and a way to give back to the countries they visit. See the sights, shop, dine and relax as you would on any trip and then spend a few hours devoted to a needed project or service. Those few hours are an opportunity to experience different cultures, religions and traditions while making a difference. Sometimes lasting friendships are formed. Through socially conscious travel you begin to understand the common threads connecting the human experience even when people are separated by borders and oceans. It is an experience you'll always remember.
In addition to the volunteer opportunities offered, 10% of the trip costs are donated to grassroots groups rescuing survivors of human trafficking. For the last several years, my colleagues and I have developed a training program for staff working for these groups.
