WAVA is an organisation that specialises in Meaningful Travel experiences around the world.
They offer superb and highly structured volunteer programmes in Asia, Africa, Australasia, and Europe. As well as their volunteering programmes, a significant proportioning of its operations include work opportunities in both developed and developing countries - with a portfolio of professional internships and working holiday programmes.
Since its revamp in 2010, the entire WAVA team have travelled extensively around the world, personally visiting several of its volunteering and work projects - ensuring that the programmes fully implement the principles ofWAVA's Responsible Travel Policy.
In 2011, WAVA was honoured to become a member of the Year Out Group - an association of leading organisations that promote models of good practice within the UK volunteering sector.
WAVA also has its own social travel community called WAVAengage, which is a meeting point for current, past and future WAVA travellers. Members of the WAVAengage community are able to interact with one another - share their experiences abroad, post photos, comment, review, start groups...and be rewarded with WAVApoints for discounts to travel abroad. read more
