Group travel that makes a difference!
We empower organizations like faith-based & homeschool groups, senior-living communities, companies, and affinity groups to offer their members spectacular vacations where guests volunteer during a portion of their trip.
A SerVacation™ travel tour experience incorporates volunteering into vacation and gives you the opportunity to return from your trip both physically and spiritually re-energized!
We have packaged itineraries to certain destinations where we work closely with local organizations to ensure that our service is sustainable and impactful. We collaborate with hotels, transportation companies, and other tourism providers to create seamless, memorable experiences for our clients. We can also customize a trip to a destination of your choice, according to your group’s needs.
Family Friendly. Educational. Uplifting.
