View Profile

We are seasoned travelers who felt that we gained so much by experiencing new places and cultures, but found it hard to give back to the communities we visited. We individually tried and failed to find volunteer projects that fit within our vacation time constraints, while also finding an organization that is credible and makes a lasting impact.

The Vacation Project provides curated group travel with a purpose. Our team works with young guides who are ingrained in the local community and culture to show our travelers local experiences beyond the well-tread tourist routes.  We also partner with NGOs at each destination to create a unique service project on each trip for our TVP'ers.
