United Planet

United Planet is a non-profit organization with a mission to create a global community, one relationship at a time. We connect volunteers who want to make a difference with communities in more than 30 countries, where they learn, teach, work, engage and immerse themselves in a culture outside their comfort zone. For many, it’s the most fulfilling experience of their lives!

每一个团结d Planet-sponsored Quest is a personal, authentic experience based on your goals, your interests, your passion. We have support staff in all 20+ countries in which we operate, providing guidance and assistance to our volunteers. We offer the most authentic, most immersive experiences for people who want to do something important.

We are a mission-focused, non-profit organization
If you are looking to perform an important service, to make a difference, to help build a global community, United Planet will serve you well.

Our programs emphasize authenticity
United Planet is not about tourism. We want you to be safe and fulfilled, but we also want to get you outside your bubble, to jump into a real experience, to engage as a global citizen.

We provide everything you need to succeed
Our Quests include classes, in-country travel, home stays, meals, work chosen to meet your objectives – and we have associates in-country, who act as a cultural bridge during your experience.

You’ll get outside your comfort zone
Do you want to challenge yourself? Forge meaningful relationships? Do worthwhile work? Engage with a different culture? Our past volunteers use the word “immersive” to describe their experiences.

(your journey here)
Every Quest is personalized to help you meet your objectives, to provide the opportunity for genuine, meaningful personal growth. We work with you to figure out what you want to accomplish, then create the program that will take you there.

Your safety is our most important concern
No other organization provides more support – personal assistance before you travel, experienced staff in-country, strong and collaborative relationships with our hosts, insurance, 24-hour assistance – everything that can be done to ensure your safety and well-being.

What we do is meaningful
Your experience will be important, relevant and helpful to the community you serve. Our mission of unity means that both you and the host country will gain from your Quest.
