How are Me to We trips unique?

Me to We trips are unique in that each trip works in collaboration with our charitable partner, Free The Children. An international development organization and educational partner, Free The Children has established partnerships with the communities where Me to We trips travel. The strong partnerships that Free The Children has with local communities and governments allow Me to We trips the unique opportunity to offer our participants the chance to truly interact and engage with developing communities overseas.

This partnership allows participants to see Free The Children’s sustainable Adopt a Village development model in practice, which is driven first and foremost by the local community and local needs. The purpose of each trip is to complement and advance the work of Free The Children through meaningful volunteer opportunities. Free The Children’s on-the-ground operations employ full-time and permanent staff 12 months of the year to ensure that local development projects are completed and to guide trip participants during their time as volunteers.

Furthermore, Me to We trips are driven by the goal of creating systemic change—for the participants and within the communities where they travel. We are different from other volunteer tour providers because we offer trips that aren’t just built for travellers, but built for the benefit of the communities that the trips travel to.
