Coming Soon! - GVN Website Update

Over the past few months we’ve secretly been working away on the newest version of our website. I can tell you, so far it looks fantastic and we’re so excited to be revealing it to you all soon.

Jon (our new website designer) describes his role of completely updating the entire Global Volunteer Network website as “making things look nice.” We couldn’t agree more Jon!

Whilst retaining the GVN feel, some top features of the new website are:

  • Easy program search – are you looking to work with children in Africa or wildlife in Asia, our new program search feature makes it easy for you find the program you’re looking for
  • Enhanced Program Information – maps, galleries and program details now arranged in tabs to make it easier and quicker for you to view
  • Contact the program coordinator – an easy to access form allowing you to ask us any questions you have
  • Improved Video Gallery – with a new video system you can now watch our videos in higher quality
  • Fundraising Page – we’ve put together a great new page of ideas to help you raise money for your trip. Personal fundraising pages will be coming soon too, allowing volunteers to fundraise online!
  • Community Page – fast access to GVN and friends on Twitter and Facebook
  • Behind the scenes things have changed too, it’s going to be easier for us to update the galleries, and volunteer feedback and keep you up to date with the latest news from the programs

Stay tuned for the website to go live in late August.
