Tailoring
We know that it isn’t always possible to find a standardized product to suit the individual needs of your organization. That’s why we offer a tailoring service. We’ll work with you to develop a unique volunteer travel package that fulfills all your requirements.
How do we tailor volunteer travel experiences?
The first step of tailoring a project is to meet with the company and discuss what they want to get from their volunteer travel experience. Once we have this information we can sit down and work out how these requirements can be met. We’ll work out some practical travel solutions and bring them back to the company for further discussion. This will continue until we’ve developed a package that meets your needs.
For example…
Warminster School wanted to add a bit of variety to their volunteer travel experience. They wanted their students to benefit from more than one project and a whole array of evening and weekend activities. We worked with them to design a package to suit their individual needs. This is what we came up with…
A three week student volunteer holiday that combined the Cloud Forest Conservation project with a Community Development project in Quito, and included a selection of non-project related activities to fulfill the group’s requirements.
