Volunteer Vacations
Looking for something different to do on your next vacation? Want to get more connected to the local community?
Perhaps you are a regular volunteer seeking new adventures and experiences; or maybe you are taking President Obama’s call to volunteer to heart. In either case, you will find opportunities with Better Good Travel to put your skills to work while on vacation. You will see another side of the place that you visit while still enjoying the parts that tourists love so well. Making meaningful connections with the locals always enhances your vacation experience.
Fundraising
We can help organizations plan fundraising vacations. We do much of the work, saving you time to concentrate on your organization and serve your community.
Custom Groups
If your group would like to travel and serve together or if you have a certain organization that you would like to donate your time and skills to while on your vacation, please contact us and we can make the arrangements.
The Cost of Volunteering
We don’t think that volunteering should break your budget or be a financial burden. If your heart is bigger than your wallet, you will find our volunteer stints very affordable. There are costs involved for transportation, meals and supplies, but none of these costs will prevent anybody from participating – unless you lost your wallet. For example, we may need to hire a bus to take us to a village where we will be volunteering. Many of the places where we volunteer operate on a shoestring and can’t be expected to absorb the costs of transportation and food for volunteers, which would take away from what goes to the people that they serve. We expect the volunteer traveler to pay for these minimal costs and please rest assured that Better Good Travel does not charge any additional fees over and above what the local organization charges us.
The same holds true for our group experiences. You will find the costs of our vacations and services very reasonable. We have not added hundreds of dollars to the cost of your vacation. Better Good Travel is committed to volunteerism and donates its time and expertise to the cause, without passing on extra fees to participants.
