GVI is a non-political, non-religious organization, which runs over 100 programs in 15 countries. GVI volunteers fill a critical void in the fields of environmental research, conservation, education and community development.
We have been connecting thousands of change-makers, like you, with impactful environmental projects in some of the most vulnerable habitats on the planet, for over two decades.
GVI runs volunteer projects abroad in more than a dozen countries around the world, allowing you to make an impact through hands-on conservation work at our remote research stations.
Discover offbeat locations, rare species and unique ecosystems for an unforgettable adventure. Join our global community of like-minded people and make a difference through projects that contribute to the protection of fragile ecosystems and endangered species.
GVI is guided by a unique commitment to its volunteers and to its partners. To the volunteer it offers safe, responsible travel experiences, exceptional training and career development opportunities, and facilitates the ability to make a real difference.
To our communities we commit all project ownership and all work undertaken to their direction, in conjunction with our local partners.
