Why volunteer with STA Travel?

Our volunteering projects are authentic, sustainable and responsible. We believe in giving back to the communities we visit by making sure that our travel has a positive impact on their local economies. We only work with a select number of partners who build meaningful relationships with local communities, whilst ensuring that we fulfill our traveler's desires to make a difference.
