"Give Experience"

I was really nervous to get out of my comfort zone and I do not regret a single thing! I can’t wait to go on another trip with give in the future. I met new people and immediately made friends for life. I recommend going and be yourself!!

"This experience was life changing"

This experience was life changing. I got to experience this incredible thing with incredible people. I got to meet people and see things normal tourists would never. It lit a passion inside of me. I am beyond grateful this got to be my first solo traveling experience.

"The Tica Time of my Life!"

I had the most incredible experience traveling with GIVE. Everything about it was so special and intentional, in every aspect I felt like I was meant to be there. I have met such kind and genuine souls, all traveling with purpose and intention, to learn, grow, push our comfort zones and make a change in the world. I couldn’t have asked to be surrounded by a better group of individuals. The gratitude, perspective and values on life I have gained from this trip is absolutely life changing! I have learned so much about permaculture and the way of life that comes with it. There was so much meaning behind every action taken on this trip, I can only encourage one to experience something like this one day.

"Best experience of my life!"

The Costa Rica GIVE trip genuinely changed my life for the better. I am still brought to tears every time I look back on my trip memories with the most amazing people and wish I could do it again and again. I learned so much about sustainable living, composting, and the lifestyle of permaculture farming. I also genuinely had so much fun and met the most amazing people who all share similar mindsets. Our GIVE guides were incredible and so were all the people we met throughout our volunteering. Getting to see such beautiful places and do such incredibly fun things all while leaving a genuine positive impact is something I wish everyone could experience. Seriously 10/10 recommend this trip. I will never forget white water rafting, ziplining, exploring the jungle, eating plants from the farm, morning yoga, dance parties, delicious food, the gorgeous beaches and waterfalls, the friendships made, and so so much more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to GIVE Volunteers for this wonderful experience. If you're on the fence about going-- trust me DO IT!!!

"Give SE Asia package"

The trip was laid out so well, the whole day is filled with activities and everyone is taken care of to ensure that the trip is safe and the most comfortable it can get. The staff are very knowledgeable on the local communities and the history and are a great way to learn about all the places you see and stay. Only notable thing to keep in mind is that it’s good to ask questions about how to prepare for basic activities or what to expect for hiking conditions because it can get glanced over during day planning

"My time In Zanzibar with Give"

During my time a broad with Give Volunteers I was immersed into the culture of a village in Zanzibar called Kairo. During my time spent her I partook in two main volunteering sections, these included Contruction and teaching. During Contruction we made cement as a group, shoveled our newly made cement into wheelbarrows, where we then dumped the cement onto a surface to create a foundation that will soon be a new computer classroom for the locals. During school I taught one of the local tribes, this group of men we the Maasai. During teaching we were divided into separate levels and we taught them English. This experience was very eye opening as well as inspiring for my future. This program is incredible and very reliable. I cannot wait to hopefully continue my travels with Give!

"I have been on 3 trips now with Give"

I have been on 3 trips now with Give; Tanzania, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and I can’t get enough. Each trip is such a uniquely wonderful experience and were some of the best weeks of my life. The guides make it such a positive and fulfilling trip and I feel like a better person after coming back from one. You go on vacation to escape life but you go on an adventure to experience life, and I truly feel the most alive while on a Give trip.

"First GIVE trip in Zanzibar, Tanzania"

This is was my first volunteer trip with GIVE and I absolutely loved it. I just got back from my trip and it was fantastic. The guides were always there to answer our questions and if we had any issues with anything they were there to help us out. Never did I feel unsafe in the environment. my fellow volunteers were a constant encouragement during construction, education, and my additional trip to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. The locals were always happy and excited to see us and they understood that me and my group were not tourist. We were there to make change in the small town of Kairo. One of the best highlights of the trip was just seeing how free and happy the locals were and how inviting they were to include us in their daily lives.

GIVE was excellent in response time before the trip even started and I had no flight troubles going and coming home. I honestly would do this trip again in the future because of how organized and safe it was.

One thing I would recommend to any going to Tanzania would be to bring electrolytes and all the cash that you plan on spending in USD so your not constantly looking for an ATM when you run out of money. (There’s only a few opportunities to get cash) if you choose to do this trip have fun and embrace everyday with an open mind, you won’t regret it.
