Make a difference in some of the world's most critical conservation and community projects with Global Vision International and selected partner organisations.

Global Vision International (GVI) is a UK based organisation which promotes sustainable solutions for a rapidly changing world by providing support and funding for long term pioneering conservation and community projects in 20 countries worldwide.

GVI volunteers fill an essential void in the fields of environmental research, conservation, education and community development. To date over 2000 volunteers have joined projects, resulting in increased manpower and the direct financial support of over $1,000,000.

Adventurous individuals can join challenging Expeditions as diverse as; Coral Reef conservation in Mexico and the Seychelles, Wildlife Research in the Amazon Rainforest, Costa Rica, Kenya and South Africa, Community Development in Mexico and remote exploration in Patagonia.

Choose from over 45 volunteer projects worldwide such as: working with indigenous children in Guatemala, turtle protection in Panama, environmental education with the Dian Fossey Gorilla fund, teaching in Nepal and Gibbon rehabilitation in Thailand. GVI also offers training courses and Career Development Opportunities at Expedition bases across the world and in National Parks and protected areas throughout Mexico.

Joining a GVI Expedition gives you the opportunity to be part of a team, develop new skills and immerse yourself in the surrounding language, culture and way of life whilst contributing to critical conservation issues. Your experience will give you a deep understanding of the area, habitat and local community that you visit making your visit much more worthwhile than seeing a country as a surface tourist. The skills you develop, experiences you enjoy and even friendships that you make are sometimes even life changing.

No experience is necessary, ages 18 – 65, departures throughout the year from 2 weeks to a year.
