Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

"The Opportunity of a Lifetime"
Both texts (the speech and the advertisement) address voluntourism. However, each text has a different purpose, which is reflected by the details each writer chose to include. Consider the words and images used.

In a paragraph of 6-8 sentences, identify what each text emphasizes and explain how that emphasis supports the claim of each argument. Be sure to state each argument's claim and include evidence from both texts to support your analysis.

Can someone pleaseee help me ASAP! I’ll give brainliest!

You will prepare six questions—two on each topic. Your two questions for each topic should be related to one another. It might be helpful for you to think about the second question as a follow up to the first. Your questions will be based on the reading passages from these lessons:

What Is Body Image?
Your Own Healthy Style
The Teen Brain: Still Under Construction
Understanding the Benefits and Risks of Screen Time for Adolescents
Screen Time Guidelines for Teens
Your questions should be formed so that they can be answered by understanding all the important concepts in the reading passages. Your questions should be open-ended, allowing the speaker to give longer, more considered and reflective answers. Don’t ask questions that are close-ended or that have answers that are too specific or related to factual details of the reading passages. Questions that can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no” should be avoided.

Note that your questions will be evaluated based on Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK). DOK is a unit that measures the level of thinking required to answer a particular question. The DOK measure has four levels:

DOK 1—These close-ended questions have only one correct answer. They are also known as recall questions because they ask for a simple recall of information, such as facts, figures, or definitions.

DOK 2—These questions test your understanding of skills and concepts. To answer this type of question, you must compare and contrast, convert information from one form to another, classify and sort, or give explanations.

DOK 3—These questions test strategic or higher-level thinking in the short term. You may be required to go beyond the text and apply your understanding of one subject area to a question that relates to another subject area. You must generalize, connect ideas, and make inferences in order to answer these questions.

DOK 4—These questions test strategic or higher-level thinking in the long term. They are extended activities—like term papers or projects—that require the application of skills and concepts to solve larger problems. Over the course of the activity, you may be expected to apply skills, manage, adapt, plan, and even propose a course of action to solve a problem.
Your questions must be DOK level 2 or 3. Learn more about these DOKs.

Here are some resources you can consult when you draft your questions:

Interviewing "Experts"
Asking the Right Questions
Creating Good Interview and Survey Questions
Here are some additional tips to consider when writing your questions:

Ask open-ended questions. For example instead of asking, “Can we change body images?” you can ask, “What can we do to promote positive body images?” The first question can be answered “yes” or “no.” The second question allows the speaker to give a more measured and well-thought-out response.

Ask questions that are related to one another on a given topic. You can also ask follow-up questions. For instance, you might ask, “How do changes in the teenage brain make teens more vulnerable to addictions such as alcohol?” Then you could ask a follow-up question to gain more information: “How would a history of drinking in a family affect a teenager’s brain structure?”

Don’t ask biased or leading questions that force the speaker to agree with you and answer in a way that suits you. Here is an example of a leading question: “Don’t you agree that parents should be responsible for helping their children have a positive body image?” Instead, you could ask, “What can parents do to help their children maintain a positive body image?”

Reread the poem “A Minor Bird” by Robert Frost.

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;


Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.


The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.


And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.
