GLOBE AWARE - ADVENTURES IN SERVICE
What is our goal?
- To promote contact between people of different cultural and social backgrounds, breaking down linguistic and cultural barriers and creating and understanding an appreciation of others.
- To provide worldly education through experience. To enable volunteers to learn the positive effects of concrete action and to recognize the interrelationship between theory and practice.
- To provide an intercultural learning experience and the opportunity to explore a new country and a new culture more deeply and respectfully than as tourists.
- To integrate participants into the local community to learn from their hosts about the issues which concern them.
- To help develop small-scale infrastructure or environmental improvement, and or to preserve cultural heritage and traditions.
How We Do It
Destinations
Globe Aware trips are professionally planned and led. You do not need special skills or the ability to speak a foreign language. Globe Aware coordinators lay the groundwork prior to your arrival, accompany you during your volunteer vacation, and assist with transfers and departures.
Custom Group Trips
Globe Aware Adventures in Service offers a custom, safe, and fun way for schools and corporate groups to have fun and help people, as well as offer a tremendous opportunity to experience other cultures.
Donations
Globe Aware collaborates with both corporate and private groups to make a positive influence on communities worldwide. Our ability to achieve our objectives and assist numerous individuals is made possible through the generous financial and in-kind contributions from our many supporters.
Why Choose Globe Aware?
Globe Aware, a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) develops short-term volunteer programs in international environments that encourage people to immerse themselves in a unique way of giving back.
Every activity we engage in is intended to accomplish one of two things: promote cultural awareness and/or promote sustainability. For us, the concept of cultural awareness means to recognize and appreciate the real beauties and real challenges of a culture, but not to change it. The concept of sustainability is to help others stand on their own two feet; to teach skills rather than reliance.
Volunteers
Corporate Volunteer Vacations
With decades of experience leading groups around the world on short-term volunteer experiences, we create and manage volunteer abroad solutions for groups from 5 to 500 participants.
Community Service Hours
Many schools require students to complete a specific number of service hours to graduate, and college and university admissions offices look favourably on applicants who display a pattern of service.
Family Volunteering
Globe Aware has a long tradition of mobilizing volunteer programs around the world for families of all ages and sizes. For us, it is perhaps the most beautiful experience there is to have together.
Volunteer Groups
Globe Aware adventures in service offer a safe, fun way not only for schools and corporate groups to have fun and help people, but they also give families a tremendous way of experiencing life with the children of other cultures.
