The world is big, full of beautiful, diverse, exhilarating places and people. Experiencing and exploring this world is an exciting privilege that can broaden your horizons, introduce you to new and life-changing perspectives, allow you to hone a new skill set before entering the professional world, and give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see remote habitats and wonderful communities that you might otherwise not have the chance to encounter.

Our projects are driven by a core mission: positive impact. GVI is committed to sustainable, meaningful change alongside both our local project participants and our global partners. If you’re looking to make an impactful difference in conservation or community development efforts while seeing new countries and experiencing diverse cultures, GVI’s student volunteer programs are for you.
