Volunteering Philosophy

 

We recognize that there are many worthy organizations and worthwhile causes to which you could choose to apply yourself and we pledge to all that we can to validate your decision to volunteer with us. If you believe travel can change person and make the world a better place, we encourage you to volunteer with the Michigan Council of HI-USA.

Volunteers enhance our ability to advance the HI-USA, Michigan Council Mission in many ways.

Volunteers may make a one-time (episodic) commitment:

Help is needed with our annual Paddle to the Symphony [a link to the information] on July 18, 2008.

College students may consider our Opening Doors, Opening Minds programs for service learning credits. The position can be reviewed at Mission-Based Youth Program Volunteer-ODOM.

Veteran travelers are needed for our World Travel 101 presentations. The position can be reviewed at Mission-Based Travel Presenter.
