Volunteer Vacation Cook Islands:
Few places in the world are as beautiful and idyllic as the Cook Islands of the South Pacific. Unspoiled ancient mountains ringed by crystal-clear, turquoise water attracted a hearty and self-reliant Maori people. Today, the beauty remains, but local people are challenged by a declining population, a weakened economy, and lost social programs.
You can help restore the island's vitality and learn about a fascinating culture. Our NGO host partner on the main island of Rarotonga directs our work to help bolster literacy, elder care and social services in several settings. Your "helping hands" and financial support through your service program fee provide valuable resources to reach out to the island's youth and adults!

"Each day we count our blessings that we have been very lucky to have Global Volunteers come to us. They are all very interesting, very willing to do anything we place in front of them. But, most importantly, their presence is the inspiration needed to unite peoples of different cultures. We thank you deeply and warmly."
