our programs

Dream Volunteers is a service-travel organization that gives back 100% of proceeds to the students, families, and communities where we travel. We offer global service trips and gap year programs for students eager to learn about the world by immersing themselves in new communities and cultures. We also invest deeply where we serve by providing academic scholarships, education, and sustainable development for our communities in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ghana, India, and Vietnam.

COVID-19 has thrown the world a curve ball and shut down international travel but it hasn’t stopped us or the young dreamers in our global community from stepping up and giving back both locally and internationally. Service leadership programs have been refocused on local community engagement and immediate emergency relief, and cultural exchange programs have become virtual via Zoom, shared videos and social media. Now more than ever, our world needs brave young changemakers as we work to rebuild and strengthen our communities post-COVID. Learn more about our DREAM BIG NOW! intensive programs, adapted for COVID-safe participation.

future changemakers

Today more than ever, we need strong leaders, moral courage, and bold innovation. Our goal at Dream Volunteers is to inspire and empower a generation of confident, compassionate, and creative global citizens who will take action in their communities and the world. Meet some of these courageous young people who are already making an impact.

Dream Volunteers is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Because of our unique business model enabling us to self-fund operations, we are able to devote 100% of donor and sponsor contributions directly to student scholarships and development programs. Every dollar you give goes directly to our future changemakers.
