Travelers delve into local projects, volunteer efforts and give back to the community. Trek through the Andean mountains; learn about farming techniques; give back to community charities; or join walking tours led by kids who lived on the streets of Delhi.

Each Global CommUnity itinerary includes seven-night stays in luxury properties, community involvement, itineraries designed for families and a long list of add-on tour options.

Education is also a main factor in Global CommUnity excursions, including bow and arrow classes in the English countryside or visiting cold war bunkers in Moscow. Activity options are seemingly endless and a unique hands-on way to explore with the family.

Make the most of your family vacation and immerse yourself in local culture and traditions. Explore the purposeful itineraries and boost your family vacation with CommUnity Impact across the globe.
