Our Approach
We match volunteers on their chosen program with the right non-profit partner, according to their current needs at the time of the program and the profile and skills of the volunteer. We do not charge the volunteer a fee for the volunteering activities, neither do we pay the non-profits to accept the volunteer. It’s a simple match between those who want to help and organizations which need support.
We aim at improving what we do everyday and provide a safe, impactful and unforgettable experience to our clients.
