Travel With Us
Travel is fascinating, adventurous, educational and fun. It also represents an opportunity to give back and do some good in the world. “VolunTOURism” (fusing travel with volunteer efforts) is a key focus of Vet Treks trips.
Our volunteers primarily include veterinarians with extensive spay/neuter experience, veterinary students and technicians, and shelter workers. Volunteers pay all costs to travel and work with us, so that all donations to Vet Treks are spent on project needs (surgical instruments, drugs, vaccines and supplies), rather than crew support. As a Vet Treks volunteer, a portion of your costs are tax-deductible.
Not Just for Veterinary Pros
Though veterinary participation is our core focus, our projects also need the extra hands of dedicated non-veterinary crew members. Volunteers may bring along their spouses or young adult children, with approval. Dr. Lisa McCarthy, our founder and project director will train and guide crew members in the skills needed to participate in the team effort. Everyone can contribute!
Both Work and Play
Following our community projects, we encourage you to linger in country and enjoy an amazing safari or other adventure travel. In all project locations we have established partnerships with reputable tour partners who can arrange any level of trip extension you desire.
By combining your international development work with additional adventure travel, you will gain a complete experience in the destination country, and also support the country’s tourism economy.
