We help legends just like yourself make a genuine difference in the world.

With programs running in 21 locations across 13 different countries, our mission is to build a global network of people united by their passion to make a long-term positive impact in the world. 

Whether you're helping elephants re-enter their natural habitats in Thailand, teaching English to Buddhist monks in Laos, or scuba diving in Fiji to help with marine research, you're bound to find a way to combine your passions with a way to help others. 

Being responsible in our contribution to sustainable development is at the core of everything we do and we are guided by our ethical commitments and human empowerment principles. We also take Health and Safety very seriously, which is part of the reason why all our projects around the world are run by our own staff, who have each undergone a Background check, as well as off-site safety training.

At the root of our success is our commitment to investing in authentic, meaningful connections with one another, which is why mutual respect and trust are central to our operations. Although we respond with empathy to difficult situations, we believe that most circumstances can benefit from taking a light-hearted approach. By sharing stories of local achievement with our teams worldwide we build the momentum to catapult us toward our vision for the future.
