A note from our founder, Kurt

I’ve worked in volunteer travel for more than 20 years, and I’ve worked with The Green Lion throughout that time. I recommend them because, in my experience, they offer the best-quality volunteer programs around the world. We work closely with their team, know how they run their programs, and know their people by name.
