Volunteer Trip Destinations
Dream Volunteers began coordinating volunteer trips in 2007 when we took a group of 17 volunteers to Ghana. Since then, we have coordinated dozens of trips to Guatemala, India, Costa Rica and Ghana... and soon in Vietnam. Our objective on these trips is fourfold: first and foremost, we aim to make a positive, sustained impact on the community we are serving; second, we strive for a meaningful, authentic cultural exchange between our volunteers and the local people we are serving; third, we travel throughout the area so that our volunteers have an opportunity to see the beautiful sights of the country in which they are serving; finally, we have a lot of fun. Our goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of the people of these communities and an equal impact on the lives of our volunteers.
