Wayne is joined by Kimberly Haley-Coleman, the founder and CEO of Globe Aware, to explore how immersive, community-led volunteering can transform the way we see the world. Kimberly explains why Globe Aware rejects the old charity model and instead builds programmes where volunteers work directly alongside local people on projects chosen and led by the community.
This conversation highlights how short-term experiences can create deep personal change, build genuine global awareness and empower both volunteers and communities.
In this episode:
What ethical, community-driven volunteering looks like
The impact of small, well-organised local projects
How cross-cultural experiences build empathy and shift perspectives
The role of soft power in shaping global relationships
Why volunteers often gain as much (or more) as the communities they serve
Why volunteering holidays are amazing for self-improvement
This is a grounded and inspiring conversation about purpose, perspective and the power of stepping outside your own environment.
