ISV believes that Volunteers Make a Difference! ISV offers participants hands-on volunteer and adventure travel programs in Australia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Eastern Europe, Ecuador, New Zealand, South Africa, and Thailand.

ISV’s purpose and mission is "to create a volunteer environment conducive to combining education, conservation, and recreation into the most incredible experience of a lifetime; while giving back to the local communities in the countries in which we travel" We call this Voluntourism!

Since 2002 nearly 10,000 young adults have volunteered with ISV and contributed invaluable volunteer hours to projects in Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, The Dominican Republic, Romania, the USA, Thailand and Ecuador.

ISV gives you the unique ability to combine meaningful volunteer work with an action packed adventure tour to enable you to experience everything your host country has to offer. With ISV, you will become part of the community, get to know the local people and become much more than a tourist.

On ISV’s programs you will travel with 25 to 60 other like minded young adults from all over the globe so you will be able to make new friends while sharing your adventure and cultural experience.
