Volunteer Expeditions is an organization that places emphasis on the service and learning components of a volunteer program. It provides an opportunity to build skills and interests to benefit others in a community requesting outside help. Volunteer Expeditions strives to gain an understanding about the rights and needs of the poor, the dignity of life and the necessity to reach beyond ourselves in giving. We work with corporations to help provide more meaningful incentives for their employees. Volunteers typically share the traits of flexibility, compassion, and the desire to work with and learn from local people in a host community. 1167 Adams St. Northbrook, Northbrook 60062 Northbrook Other Categories: Trip Planning |
