Groups, family and young leader volunteering abroad

Group Volunteering with Us

Our Group Volunteering is based in Anuradhapura where we have worked with government and communities for 8 years.

Our Group Volunteering projects are for 4 or more people, and enable you to experience Sri Lanka as a guest, not a tourist, with all activities can be tailored to your group. These projects are designed for groups (youth groups, friendship groups, corporate groups) ages 16-Seniors, whilst the ages of members of family groups can be lower.

The projects blend individual interest with group purpose to give each person flexibility, and the opportunity to make a significant contribution to people’s lives, whilst gaining a wider perspective of our world.

The pleasure derive(d) from journeys (results) more (from) the mindset we travel (with) than the destination
