Casterbridge Tours Service Learning & Volunteer Travel Programs

The driving philosophy of Casterbridge Planet Earth is to facilitate worldwide service learning and volunteer travel experiences that raise social consciousness and environmental awareness. We simultaneously aim to provide:

  • On-location insights into science, nature, and the environment.
  • Immersion into local communities that provides authentic opportunities for charitable visits and work on local projects.

All Planet Earth Programs include study of the environment and some level of practical experience with community service. Our group leaders can select from three specific levels of programs, which have varying levels of service involvement (EcoTours, ContribuTours, and VolunTours). These experiences allow for authentic civic engagement that delivers meaningful service and can genuinely impact the wellbeing of local communities in Europe, Asia, Africa, and The Americas.

We always work closely with our group leaders to design a Planet Earth experience that is most appropriate for your group’s age range and specific areas of interest. While targeting your group’s thematic emphasis (science, nature, or community), we will educate your group about global environmental concerns. Also, many of our service experiences will offer you a hands-on opportunity to address some of the issues concerned.

At all times, we strive to honor a genuine commitment to sustainability in our internal practices and the operation of all Planet Earth programs. Please see the comments from other groups who have already experienced our Planet Earth tours. Be a part of our mission… You are only three simple steps away from making a real difference!
