CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PLACEMENTS WORLDWIDE

Other stuff

Global Vision International (GVI) was formed in 1998 to provide support and services to international charities, non-profits and governmental agencies, through volunteering opportunities and direct funding.

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 its partners it commits all research ownership rights and all work is undertaken fully under their direction, in conjunction with the local community.

GVI is a non-political, non-religious organisation, which through its alliance with over 150 project partners in over 30 countries, provides opportunities for volunteers to fill a critical void in the fields of environmental research, conservation, education and community development. International partners the South African National Parks Board, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, Jane Goodall Institute, Rainforest Concern and Kenyan Wildlife Service.

No previous experience is necessary, as full training is given. While our priority is the success of the project, we realise that it is your contribution that ultimately achieves this very success. GVI expeditions are designed with you, the volunteer, in mind. They incorporate worthwhile, pioneering projects with dramatic locations, excellent training and fun professional staff.
