There are people that have just returned from their vacation that state that they need another vacation just to recoup. Volun-Toursim is a new type of vacation, and you can participate in it with your motorhome Class C. It is defined as taking a vacation to help others in your motorhome Class C. Your RVing trip can help someone who is in need.

What do I do first when I want to participate with my motorhome Class C RV?

Several Volun-Tourism organizations can be found by searching the internet. Begin first by discussing the options with your traveling companions, whether it will be friends or family members who will be traveling in your motorhome Class C unit with you. Make a list of potential motorhome Class C Volun-Tourism trips. Contact different organizations directly to see which ones complement you and your companions values. You want everyone in your motorhome Class C to be enthusiastic about the cause. Sample causes could be endangered species; inner city youth; arts; or even feeding the homeless.

Select the cause, and then what?

The next step before traveling in your motorhome Class C is to make direct contact with the organization directly. You will want to find out specific details on the volunteer opportunities. See what you and your family will be doing. Ask about past experiences with motorhome Class C travelers and volunteer efforts. Discuss the nonprofits mission statement and other activities in their community to make sure it is something that you will want to commit time and energy to. You may have an application process that you need to fill out prior to making the trip in your motorhome Class C RV unit.

What to expect from the organization during the volunteer period?

Ask details on what you will need to do with your RV before you travel to volunteer. See what costs you will be responsible to pay for. You may have to pay for gas to and from the location, as well as food and camp grounds along the route. Ask where you will be expected to park when you are spending time working, and see if there is transportation available to haul you and your family/friends to and from the volunteer site. Ask the organization about all types of additional information to supplement your RV trip.

Financial donations are a way to help, even if you cannot travel

You may not have the time to help or volunteer currently, or your health may not be ideal for traveling. If so, financial gifts are always appreciated by nonprofits. Check online to see what giving levels are available, but most all donations will be welcome.

Jump on the volunteer tourism trend and help others while traveling and seeing the world in your recreational vehicle. It is up to you to make such a difference.
