In every community, in every friend circle or family, there's a special woman that outshines the rest with her compassion, her commitment, and her care for the less fortunate. Travelocity's Travel for Good program and WE TV want to honor these super-star women for their tireless service.
If you know a special woman volunteer and you'd like to make sure she gets the recognition she deserves, nominate her for the We Do Good Awards today. There are three categories to choose from: the Travel for Good Award, the Women on Their Way Award, and the We Do Good Award.
The winner of Travelocity's Travel for Good Award will select any trip from Travelocity’s official voluntourism partners: Cross-Cultural Solutions, Earthwatch Institute, Globe Aware, or American Hiking Society. Travelocity will cover the volunteer vacation and the travel to the destination--up to a total cost of $5,000.
Imagine working with a meerkat colony in Kalahari. Picture living in a kids’ center at the foot of Machu Picchu. Spend several weeks building a school in Ghana. No matter what her passion is, the Travel for Good Award winner will be able to find a trip that inspires her and gives her the opportunity to change the world with her own two hands.
And after you nominate a special woman in your community (or ask someone to nominate you!), you can pledge to volunteer 24 hours this year. We Volunteer is challenging all women to give just one day and see what a difference it makes.

Very nice initiative to award socially active women.
This picture of Machu Pichu is astonishing.

Wow, these look like some really interesting volunteering opportunities. Travelling the world is all well and good, but if you are just a tourist and a spectator it can be depressing,especially when you see some of the problems that people are having to live with. Doing something positive and volunteering is a great way to get more under the skin of a place and meet interesting people.

What a great program. It's always nice to honor people who do great things for others and don't really ever expect anything in return. Good for you Travelocity!
