  Mike and Carly Jo were amazing guides. I left this trip feeling connected with everyone. I gained so much knowledge and look back on the experience with so much gratitude. Knowing the projects we worked have a long term positive impact make me feel rewarded, and I learned skills that I can take with me anywhere I go. GIVE is an amazing way to travel, make friends, and be part of positive change.Show more

  This was the best experience I’ve had. From the feeling of independence flying alone for the first time to the life long friends you make. I would do this again and again every year if I could.Show more

  To anyone who is considering the trip with GIVE to the Pacific Northwest, I would say that it is not an experience that you would want to miss out on and is absolutely worth every moment. It is a lot to consider in terms of money and planning out your travel schedule but once that is all figured out, the trip itself and the organization of GIVE will make you feel great about your decision to go. The team at GIVE is professional, knowledgeable, and most of all a group of great friendly people. Everything with the itinerary of the trip was well-organized and executed with clear communication to all the volunteers involved, never once were we confused or second-guessing what we were doing. Not only will you be doing important work, but you will also be immersed in beautiful places with a fun group of people, with a trustworthy and highly commendable organization guiding you along the way.Show more

  Take it! This trip changed my life forever and has left me with the most amazing memories and incredible knowledge that I use with me back home. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about to work that I did with GIVE and the incredible experiences we shared together. It’s thrilling to be able to come home and still do a tiny bit of work we did during the trip. I will definitely be seeing PNW and GIVE soon for WILD!!Show more

  If you have never seen the PNW before, do it with GIVE! This is such a meaningful trip right in GIVE's backyard. You will get to experience how beautiful Washington is while giving back to the environment and learning how to acknowledge\respect ancestral lands.Show more

  I 100% recommend this tour! We got to be work on environmental volunteer projects, go on beautiful hikes to jump in clear lakes in mountains, float down a river, go whale watching, and make amazing friendships. The group quickly became best friends and the guides are amazing!Show more
