our volunteering programs
volunteering is an amazing way to completely enrich your travel experience to another level. when we travel we sometimes only see the glitz and glamour of the destination and we forget that there are communities that need our help, experience and assistance. at syte travel we absolutely love volunteering with local communities, conservation projects and working with animals and can't wait to share this with you.
So feel free to browse the 40 programs on offer by destination or category and contact our helpful volunteer experts with any questions you have.
There’s something gratifying about volunteering. Whenever I work a charity event—which I try to do with some regularity—I often get more out of it than I give.
I already knew about the mental health benefits of volunteering. Studies have shown that volunteering helps people who donate their time feel more socially connected, thus warding off loneliness and depression. But I was surprised to learn that volunteering has positive implications that go beyond mental health. A growing body of evidence suggests that people who give their time to others might also be rewarded with better physical health—including lower blood pressure and a longer lifespan.
