I've experienced first hand TFK's adventures and social impact in Thailand and Peru and I couldn't recommend it more. Combining global exploration with humanitarian opportunities to give to those in most need is what TFK is all about. The investment into the local communities is significant and life changing for the underprivileged kids as well as all of those that participate
TFK is an amazing organization, helping to give back to communities, while also making a significant and positive change to underprivileged children's lives. I have taken part in 2 expeditions, and it has been such a reward to interact with and help children have access to basic necessities and living conditions that will allow them to thrive.
I have been volunteering every year with TFK for the past 11 years!!!! It is the highlight of my year to be able to travel to a remote location and try to improve the kids' lives.
If you enjoy travel and adventure, you should certainly consider doing it with a purpose.
I highly recommend it!
Trekking for Kids is a remarkable organization. I participated in a trip to Russia where we climbed Mt. Elbrus and raised capital for an orphanage outside of Moscow. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity where I was thankful to bond with the other Trekkers--who were from many different walks of life--to see places I otherwise would have never traveled to by myself, and to witness the joyful children in the orphanage.
