Good intentions aren't enough.
The world is more connected than ever, but that connection doesn't always translate into understanding. International travel, volunteering and aid can do real good — or, done carelessly, they can repeat the same inequalities they set out to fix. Think Volunteer exists to close that gap: we prepare people to help well, and we fund the local organizations already doing the work.

From awareness to action
Prepare properly
Think Academy gives volunteers, travelers and organizations the training to understand a community before stepping into it.
Work with locals, not around them
Every project runs through an existing local organization — never built for a community, always built with one.
Turn support into results
Think Charity campaigns fund the projects directly, with clear reporting back to everyone who gave.

With our mission to transform the voluntourism industry into a more responsible and sustainable space, we focus on empowering volunteers. We achieve this by raising awareness through our social media platforms and offering comprehensive online training via the Think Academy. In addition to our outreach efforts, we've also welcomed numerous volunteers and interns into our organization, providing hands-on experiences that help shape future changemakers.
