In 2024, GVI earned a spot among GoAbroad’s top-rated volunteer providers, a recognition made possible by the honest feedback and experiences of our incredible alumni. This achievement underscores GVI’s mission to foster genuine cultural exchange, champion ethical travel, and create lasting positive impact across our global projects.

GVI was once again named one of the best international volunteering providers globally by GoAbroad. The GoAbroad winners are determined by the collective reviews from real-world program alumni. Reviews are used as a way to verify organisations, get valuable feedback about program experiences, and also recognise exceptional programs.
