How to Do Volunteer Travel Right (And Why Most Trips Get It Wrong)

Volunteer travel has become incredibly popular. But not all service trips are created equal. Some experiences unintentionally center the volunteer instead of the community. Others leave participants inspired but unsure how their efforts truly made a difference. In this episode of You Are What You Give givewithus.com, Avi Zimmerman speaks with Erin Hempen, founder of With Change in Mind https://www.withchangeinmind.org/, about how volunteer travel can be done better. Erin has spent years designing service experiences that focus not just on helping communities, but on building meaningful relationships, sustainable impact, and lasting transformation for everyone involved. Together they explore: • What makes a volunteer trip truly effective • The difference between meaningful service and “voluntourism” • How nonprofits can design programs that respect and strengthen local communities • Why joy and human connection are essential to sustainable nonprofit work • How service experiences can reshape the way people give for the rest of their lives This conversation is for nonprofit leaders, volunteers, philanthropists, and anyone who has ever wondered how to serve responsibly while learning deeply from the communities they visit.
