Review Description

Our program is centered on working with local projects and institutions in need of assistance in Costa Rica, Ghana & Thailand. Most of our participants travel individually to the program but live as a group with other like-minded travellers from all over the world.

We accommodate volunteers in our purposefully created volunteer houses called our ‘dorms’. They are called dorms because volunteers share rooms and sleep in bunk beds dormitory style.

Our Beliefs: Education, Youth Development, Travel & Culture

Our Mission: To make you see the world from a different perspective and learn!

There were many summer volunteer placements that could have catered to the adventure I was looking for. However, I am very thankful to have committed my time with the uVolunteer teaching English program in Costa Rica. During my pre-destination research, I was convinced uVolunteer was right for me. ..
Ghana was the most eye opening experience I have ever encountered in my life. Upon arriving, I was not quite sure what to expect, but I knew I would not be living a posh life. I was not prepared to have everything I had grown accustomed too in the states taken away from me, but I settled in quickly. ..
