Lately in Colorado we’ve had radio ads for international voluntourism – is that our next step? That makes it feel like the industry has grown up a little, from Google and GoAbroad to radio advertisements?
“We Day empowers people to change the world through our partners: Free The Children is the international charity that invests your donations to adopt villages overseas, and Me to We hosts you on volunteer experiences that show how your donations are put to work.”
Check out the guys who placed the ad: http://www.metowe.com/volunteer-travel/
Hello Alexia,
If the text is the radio spot, then maybe the volunteer branch simply piggybacked on the donation branch here. And maybe they got some kind of radio spot donation for the donation branch. So maybe it’s just some opportunity that they seized and it’s not a real signal of the evolution of the volunteering industry. Do you know more about it?
