What’s the difference between Experteering and Voluntourism?

Voluntourism involves the participant providing free work to enhance their touristic experience, and often involves a “Pay to volunteer” fee. Unlike voluntourism, which can actually create harm, Experteering is a proven way to create lasting change. You can think of Experteering as a specific type of volunteering that is skills-based, where the goal is to transfer knowledge and specific professional expertise to help your host organization lay the foundation for long-term growth, rather than solving a specific problem.
