Sustainable travel that gives back

Where Adventure and Kindness Intersect

Elevate Destinations is an award-winning company for travelers looking to combine a luxury vacation with conscientious and ethical community interactions. We specialize in designing trips for travelers of all ages, with a focus on experiential learning.

Your engagement with community will be tailored to your own values, skills, and time frame. Most experiences last anywhere from a day or two to a week. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a family, or as an organized group, we can customize a community-oriented trip with service elements as appropriate – or add community interactions to round out any travel adventure.

These experiences are focused on uplifting communities through partnerships with local organizations. With a positive social mission as a focus, your engagement will be ethically and purposefully driven. We feel this makes for the most authentic cultural exchange.

Giving back to destination communities is where adventure and kindness intersect. Our travelers often feel that it is they who have gained the most from a community exchange and the experience stays with them long after they return home.

Please note that Elevate Destinations does not work with orphanages. We support the global movement to move away from institutionalizing children and towards strengthening families and communities. #ChangeVolunteering
