Millennials not only love to travel, they love traveling with a purpose, which is why organizations such as 'Journey' are beginning to become more popular, as they present the socially conscious Millennial with the opportunity to explore the world, while dedicating their time to charitable initiates.
The offered experiences include both domestic and international opportunities and enable one to participate in initiates such as building homes, schools and skate parks or working with community-focused groups, like women's collectives. Equal parts immersive and unique, Journey enables Millennials to meet new people, explore the world, participate in once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and most importantly, travel with a purpose.
Some of this year's featured trips include building a school in Nicaragua, offering disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico and building homes in Columbia.
