Introducing Aruba Volunteer Time Off (VTO), a new initiative that invites travelers to save their PTO and instead use their VTO days for meaningful, purpose-driven experiences on the One Happy Island. Aruba VTO is a chance to give back while getting away with curated volunteer opportunities that connect guests with Aruba’s culture, community, and natural beauty.

Before setting foot on the island, guests are encouraged to take the Aruba Promise — a simple pledge rooted in the spirit of Masha Danki, expressing gratitude to the land and its people by treating Aruba with care and respect. It’s a personal commitment to travel mindfully, reduce your impact, and embrace the island’s culture and natural beauty.
Volunteering in Aruba offers a powerful way to fulfill that promise. Whether preserving local ecosystems or supporting community-led initiatives, each act of service deepens the connection between guest and island — turning appreciation into meaningful impact and helping ensure Aruba remains the One Happy Island for generations to come.
