What Set's GIVE Apart?
With over 10
million people volunteering abroad each year and more than a thousand different
organizations offering volunteer trips, it’s no surprise that one of the most
common questions we hear is, “What makes GIVE different?” In fact, it was this very question that
inspired Jake Allison to found GIVE in 2011.
After several years of witnessing the good, the bad, and the sometimes
ugly sides of the volunteer tourism industry, he ultimately determined that
there is real potential for volunteer travel to have positive impacts around
the world, but it would require a fresh, focused approach to truly foster
sustainable change. This experience inspired him to establish The GIVE Promise:
a commitment to always put people, projects and principles above profit.
