Company Summary

"Volunteer Travel" is the fastest growing sector of international travel today. With millions of travelers seeking to volunteer came massive commercialization, making it expensive and often ineffective to volunteer abroad.

GivingWay believes that finding volunteer opportunities should be easy and free and have therefore created a marketplace directly connecting volunteers and NGOs - maximizing impact and benefit to both volunteers and NGOs.
