Volunteer Together as a Family!


Family Volunteering In Costa RicaStretching outside your normal routine, and sharing your skills and compassion with others in a team environment is life-enhancing for people of all ages. Increasingly, "baby boomers" are testing the breadth of their potential as volunteers outside their professional lives. And seniors rely on our extensive expertise to engage them in predictable and safe programs to extend their productive years. Read about families "giving back" in the Cook Islands and Costa Rica.

Because of the wide appeal of our program options, most every team is multi-generational in its makeup. This is especially conducive for volunteering as a family of various ages. Our "Safety Trumps Everything" policy puts your mind at ease and enables you to focus on making the most of your volunteer vacation. We encourage parents and other adults with questions about safety on our service programs to talk with us directly. Read about a "tween" volunteering in Peru.


"It was all we had hoped for and more. From the very start,
the Global Volunteer staff was attentive to our needs and made a conscious effort to assure that we understood the intricacies of volunteering as a family."

~ Lisa Kaija, Costa Rica volunteer

Create new bonds and enrich your understanding of each other as you share your skills on a service program. Parents and grandparents especially appreciate the growth potential for young family members engaged in work for the benefit of others. Please read our minimum age requirements for minors.

Choose a service program that appeals to your spirit of service and join others who share your ideals!
