High School Community Service & Volunteering Programs in British Virgin Islands

This program not only gave me an opportunity to do so many incredible things, but I also met friends who will be at my side for a long time. Though the service projects were by far my favorite part, there was also enough fun to create a good balance with all of the work we were doing. There was also enough variety in the locations so that each service project came with new knowledge and understanding of the BVI and the people that live there. The talks and team building activities were so much fun for me because I love getting to know the people around me! Of all the team bonding, my favorite activity was Squeeze every night at dinner because it sparked really strong conversation and I loved being able to learn more about my shipmates through these questions

This year was my first summer with GoBeyond, however, I have done ActionQuest for two summers in a row. Although I love ActionQuest, after doing GoBeyond, I realized that action quest is just a camp. It is so much fun and the people are awesome, but it's a program for people who do not feel the need to repay the community and help to make it better. I love GoBeyond because helping put back the pieces of the island was so fulfilling. Not only was it hard work, but it was also fun. The people there make the experience so worthwhile and leaving GoBeyond this summer was so hard to do. My staff members were awesome!! They gave us the responsibility that ActionQuest did not and they were so supportive and uplifting. I 100% recommend GoBeyond!!

ActionQuest is an extremely unique place that offers amazing experiences for kids of all ages and from all over the world. It has taught me so much, not only about sailing and scuba diving, but also about myself, and going to ActionQuest has made me a much happier person. I truly enjoy lifeworks forums. I think that they bring up important topics, and often bring boats closer. They also help connect the lessons that I have learned at ActionQuest to my life outside, so that I may bring these new lessons home with me. The instructors were always happy to answer any sailing question and hand over the helm to any student who wanted to learn more about sailing. They made it very fun and interesting to sail the boat. Scuba diving instructions were also excellent, the instructors would help us plan our dives in the beginning, but then allow us to figure out how to do it on our own later in the trip. Diving is my favorite part of AQ, and it never fails to amaze me. The instructors are amazing, they clearly love what they do, which impacts each shipmate and allows them to have a great time. The friends that I made at ActionQuest are some of my closest friends now, and would have never met them without going to AQ. The people that you meet are just so interesting and amazing. The diving is beautiful, and the sailing is so much fun
