Volunteer Vacation

The personal benefits of vacations are well-known: they can reduce stress, rekindle relationships and rejuvenate you physically. But your vacation can also benefit the world around you. Add to the magic of your vacation memories by contributing to an existing project while you are in town!  It will be a positive experience for you, your family or your group.
