Volunteering using online platforms is an innovative way to help and motivate many around the world with your talents, knowledge, and experiences. Through our volunteer options, you get to connect with non-profit partners, specific communities, organizations and/or schools in different destinations.

Many in the developing world don’t have access or conditions to connect with others using a camera. Here are some ways to connect:

  • Share your time, talents, knowledge or class with partner schools, communities or organizations.
  • Sing, perform or showcase any ability inside a community center, foster home, elderly home, etc.
  • Help people and communities with essential translation or tutoring services in English, Spanish, or French.

Our volunteering experiences are easy to set up and can be added as an additional component to a session or workshop. Please inquire below if you or your organization is interested in participating in our virtual volunteering programs.

Virtual Fundraising Events

Your group or organization can request help with virtual fundraising experiences (dance class, cooking class, etc). Vamonos Tours, our parent company, has already sponsored two major virtual fundraising events in 2018 and 2019. We partnered with Minecraft to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Find out more here: www.lovetropics.com.

Request more information If you would like to virtually volunteer or if you have more questions. Tell us what you would like to share with others, and we will connect you with a specific organization.
