Each year, over 4000 participants volunteer with ISV, contributing to environmental, conservation and humanitarian efforts, and fostering responsible travel and cultural awareness around the world. Since 2002, ISV participants have provided nearly two million hours of volunteer service globally- a tremendous contribution to small communities and conservation programmes where help is needed.
The first two weeks of the ISV Programme is a hands-on volunteer project in social community development or conservation. Last year’s projects included working with rescued elephants, orphaned children, researching rainforest species, assisting on small organic farms, building schools and houses, and many more. ISV has a commitment to meaningful and sustainable projects and has opportunities across six continents. More information about ISV’s volunteer projects is available on their website at www.isvonline.org.
The second two weeks will see you launch into an exciting and educational tour of the best cultural and adventure activities in your host country. Your two week tour may include a two-day white water rafting adventure, glacier climbing, waterfall rappelling, city exploration, scuba diving and jungle kayaking.
