What are grassroots projects?

Grassroots volunteer projects are small, community-based initiatives created and led by local people to respond to real needs in their area. These grassroots volunteer projects usually run on low budgets, focus on practical impact and encourage close collaboration between volunteers and residents. On Voluntouring.org, grassroots volunteer projects offer meaningful cultural exchange, simple lifestyles and the chance to support long term, sustainable change from the bottom up.
