About Program
Spend your days in Haiti pumping money back into the economy and being an active contributor to it's new tourism sector. Stay at locally owned and operated hotels, eat amazing seafood meals on the beach, explore waterfalls, visit local artisans, learn about voodoo, and dance the night away.
Volunteer during the days with a micro-enterprise organization, a community development center in a small rural village, and with street kids in Jacmel. You will be forever changed by the people you meet and the change you witness happening in this beautiful country.
Attend class with former street kids and learn how to paper mache with them.
Visit new small businesses that have sprung up after the devastating earthquake of 2010 and see micro-enterprise in action. Help rebuild a community after the earthquake crushed its orphanage, school, medical center, and community center. Explore the rich culture, food, history, and religion throughout Haiti.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
