You can do more than volunteer. You can help rewrite a story. You understand the tangled complexities of volunteering abroad. You know change doesn’t happen overnight. But you still wish there was something you could do. We are New Lens Travel. We turn voluntourism on its head by sending people to learn from locals rather than jump in to 'help' them. We believe the best thing we can do is to liste
n and learn. New Lens Travel provides customized placements by pairing people with locally-based media professionals who always have a good sense of what’s happening on the ground. We help build intimate experiences that shape people’s worldviews and reveal to them the stories we don’t hear about in news and pop culture. We don’t shy away from having difficult, but important conversations about issues like power, privilege and oppression. We know you’ll wrestle with tough questions and challenge your assumptions. And just like us- we know you’ll walk away from the experience with a new lens. We're currently looking for socially conscious travellers to join us for a program in Ghana this July.
