About The Muskoka Foundation (DoGoodAsYouGo)

Our vision is to transform the adventure travel sector by including volunteering as a standard part of every traveler's plans. Through their efforts/experiences these travelers will contribute substantial and sustainable "Net Positive Impacts" in the more than 40 Muskoka Communities around the world. We seek to achieve this vision by inspiring and equipping adventure travelers, as well as empowering our local partner communities. The traveler is encouraged to “use what they know, to do good as they go" and create sustainable impacts by leveraging their own professional skills. The foundation facilitates this, by finding optimal matches for the traveler with our growing network of partner communities around the world, who have asked for, and support on-going volunteer training programs and relationships. Our Muskoka Communities are supported through partnerships with existing committed local and international organizations, and a focus on building beneficiary's skills and independence through training workshops and access to global markets. Our training workshops are provided for both children and adults in entrepreneurship, IT, photography, arts, sports, music, and many other locally relevant topics. Our market access programs support musicians, artisans and local producers to take the assets they are creating, and bringing them to larger markets where they can achieve greater returns.
