IVHQ is a great organization to volunteer with!

My experience in Puerto Rico was very rewarding. I chose to work to benefit the environment. IVHQ opens up the world. You have a choice of where in the world to volunteer and a choice of types of jobs. I helped the local team in Puerto Rico cut down invasive plants in a public park, helped them in the Urban Garden, planting indigenous trees, hauling compost, and more. This was an enriching experience for someone interested in trees, plants and flowers. I learned so much not only about botanicals but also about the issues with development and conservation, as well as having the opportunity to ask questions to become more informed about local history.
