Our Mission
At Better World Volunteers, our mission is to inspire individuals to volunteer for meaningful work in developing countries, fostering cross-cultural service that enhances health, education, and economic opportunities for vulnerable women, children, and the elderly. As an international social organization with no political or religious affiliations, we aim to build a multinational community united by a shared passion to serve, learn, understand, teach, inspire, and be inspired.
We are dedicated to offering affordable volunteer travel experiences that are responsible, safe, and of the highest quality. Our programs not only contribute to global awareness and cultural understanding but also empower host communities through the skills and expertise brought by our volunteers. The reciprocal exchange of experiences and lessons enriches both the volunteers and their home countries and cultures.
From our entrepreneurial start-up roots to our proudly youthful, non-corporate, and tech-focused approach, we recognize the value of every hard-earned volunteer dollar. Our commitment is unwavering as we tirelessly work to deliver meaningful value.
Passionate about volunteer travel, the communities we engage with, and the unique individuals we interact with daily, we are an organization comprised of real people with diverse ideas and personalities. We never forget that our volunteers are equally unique, and together, we strive to make a positive impact on the world.
