Highlights

The Muskoka Foundation believes that travelers can create a significant impact in places they visit: reducing poverty, improving health and inspiring others to do the same. We create network of travelers that are like-minded. Unlike many of the 'voluntourism' type Gap Year programs, our global travelers are seasoned professionals that have valuable skills and knowledge to contribute through our portfolio of workshops and programs.

There is a growing community of people in the "developed world", who have the means and the passion to get into their vehicles and explore this amazing planet that we live on.

The Muskoka Foundation aims to leverage the unique strengths of this group, to make a difference in the communities they visit, through their:
large-capacity, corruption-free, zero-cost transportation infrastrure (their trucks) on-the-ground presence actually interacting in/with the communities they wish to impact. (i.e. not surfing Kiva) their skills / professional backgrounds that they can use to benefit those they meet
means to spend the time and money required to focus on helping those around them passion to explore and improve the world.

The Muskoka Foundation will provide this group of explorers with a framework, tools and partnerships, enabling them to carry out the positive activities on their trips, at no cost to them or the communities.
