VolunTourism is a form of tourism in which travelers volunteer, typically with a charity, at their vacation destination. The trips tend to be short term, group oriented, and require little expertise.
The experiences can be meaningful to travelers because they learn more about the community and come away with the rewards of making a difference. The locals are uplifted to know that total strangers would travel across the state, country, ocean, or globe to help them in their time of need.
In the past decade, WARM’s VolunTourist program has grown rapidly. We’ve capitalized on our coastal location by marketing to universities and churches all over the US. Many teams come back year after year and book as far as 12-18 months in advance.
