Abstract
Theories of social movements were used to explore possible changes
in networks and consciousness-raising among participants in volunteer
tourism. Focus group research targeted three US based organizations:
Mobility International, WorldPULSE, and The American Jewish World
Service. Findings indicate that participation in volunteer tourism
had a positive effect on both intended post-trip social movement
activities and support for activism. Implications are discussed in
the context of the need for coordinating organizations to provide
opportunities for the establishment of network ties and/or consciousness-raising
experiences both during and after the volunteer tourism experience.
