Volunteering for Teens: Vietnam Youth Tour

Designed with 15-17 year olds in mind, the Vietnam Youth Tour has been created to allow teens the chance to take part in one of our rewarding volunteer programs. This gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in a developing country, experience another culture, and foster their personal growth, whilst helping communities in need.

GVN and our partner GVN-Vietnam really want this program to be a great success for both the teen volunteers and the Vietnamese community! Please help by recommending this program to your family and friends.

Do you know any families with teenagers, are you involved in a church or sports group, know any teachers or youth workers? Tell them about this fantastic program!

Essentially the Youth Tour is a shorter more intense version of our standard program with the benefits of additional safety measures such as 24 hour supervision, GVN staff guidance, a local translator, as well as village and cultural tours.

As well as taking part in the volunteer program participants will be involved in a small amount of community fundraising prior to their trip, so that they can contribute to one of the current projects of our partner in Vietnam.

The aim of this program is to give our youth volunteers a taste for volunteering and fundraising so that they can continue to take part in these types of programs in the future.

Thanks everyone for your help and support!
