How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...
Economic responsibility
- The money that is paid by the volunteers stays locally and helps to fund the longevity of the projects they participate in.
- The income that is spent by the volunteers on the programs is directly attributed to the local tourist industry and community.
- As a South American company, based out of Quito, Ecuador, we have the local knowledge and capacity to choose the best managed projects and ensure a degree of sustainability to our programs.
Environmental responsibility
- Our commitment to preserving the environment is another important aspect of LEAD Adventures’ programs.
- Volunteer work includes, but is not limited to conservation, reforestation, the removal of non-native species and monitoring endangered species.
- We educate locals on sustainability.
Social responsibility
- Our socially-responsible volunteers are looking to make an impact larger than themselves.
- It is our responsibility to find socially consicious travel guides and volunteer programs that directly impact the idigeneous community.
- Our bilingual, experienced local staff is always there to help you get the most out of your experience as a volunteer.
