At GVI, we have been connecting thousands of changemakers like you with sustainable impact projects for over 20 years.
We offer an extensive range of nature conservation and social development programs through which people from all walks of life can volunteer, intern and study, accessing real-life practical experience to kick-off or advance their careers.
Across all our work finding sustainable solutions, our actions are guided by local organisations with roots in the community, on the ground team members who monitor and maintain ethical standards and practises, and an ongoing effort to ensure our work remains inclusive and equitable.
