As many of you know, Steppin' Out has been focusing on incorporating service projects into our itineraries and in so doing, we have developed a partnership with a volunteer vacation company that has been in the business of developing sustainable volunteer projects for over 20 years.  We are working with them to plan group departures with adventure and service, but in the meantime, the company has projects to fill and is looking for people like you to fill them with individuals (or groups of people). No waiting to see whether a group is forming. Book any adventure starting in August and September and get 15%  Just remember to act fast! The best trips often sell out, so if you want to escape act now,– you need just $100 to secure a spot! Here’s what you could be doing on some of the  most popular trips…
