Tell Us Why

by Alexandra G. (August 13, 2011)

I liked helping clean up at ladybird lake and on the trail because it gave me a sense of accomplishment and gave me happiness to be able to help the earth strive and help us see our world in a better light. The progect gave me a sense in that even though it is a small task it helps out in a bigger way than people think. It lets the earth know that you care about it. Also you might find cool things while cleaning up. I would greatly reccomend this volunteer opportunity and I look forward to doing this volunteer opportunity again in the future.

I have volunteered with Hostelling International for over 6 years. I served primarily as a Regional Board Member, National Board Member and activity volunteer. The board, staff and mission of this organization are wonderful. I feel passionately about travel as a path to personal and societal enrichment and fulfillment. I highly recommend devoting your precious volunteering time to this extremely rewarding effort.
