The VolunTourism Concept In the modern era, VolunTourism - the combination of volunteer
service and travel/tourism - traces its roots to the Presidency
of John F. Kennedy and the founding of the Peace Corps. In the subsequent
four decades, student travelers shifted from what was originally
just studying abroad to incorporating service into the learning
experience. Likewise academics and educators have followed a similar
track.
In the late 1980's, Eco-tourists began incorporating service into
their green experiences and the rest is VolunTourism history.
