This year, take your family on a volunteer vacation

January 9, 2013

GoVolunteering.com has a variety of volunteer vacations, the perfect way to stick to New Year’s resolutions by traveling and contributing at the same time. Spend more time with family on a Sea Turtle conservation trip, with a few hours of volunteer commitment and plenty of time for the beach with the kids. Get fit in Brazil by volunteer coaching for youth sports teams in low income neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Find pleasure in the small things by saying goodbye to electricity to install solar panels on a school in Nicaragua. Learn something new by traveling in India for a culinary volunteer excursion, or help others by helping UNICEF build an orphanage in Guatemala.
