Read on to learn how you can get involved, too.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the past few years, volunteer travel has skyrocketed. More and more people are interested in leaving a destination better than they found it, whether that involves rebuilding a coral reef or filling an extra backpack with supplies for a local school. At the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Hyatt-Ziva-Rose-Hall-All-Inclusive.h8198649.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall Resort<\/a> in Montego Bay, Jamaica, they&#8217;ve taken volunteering to a whole new level. Guests of the resort can now visit a local school and volunteer in a number of ways, from working with the children to helping in the garden. This is just one example of how you can give back while traveling.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Volunteer&nbsp;Opportunities&nbsp;Began at Granville 404<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Curious as to how this program got started? I&nbsp;was, too, and it&#8217;s a wonderful story. An employee of Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall came to the General Manager asking for help to secure her daughter\u2019s school as they&#8217;d had a problem with vandalism. After learning more about the school, the GM decided to see what else they might need.<\/p>\n<p>The school was in desperate need of repairs and paint. After&nbsp;making sure the property&nbsp;was secured, the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Hyatt-Ziva-Rose-Hall-All-Inclusive.h8198649.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt Ziva<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Cancun-Hotels-Hyatt-Zilara-Cancun-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1635542.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt Zilara<\/a> got to work, taking Granville 404 under their wings. There was a huge field behind the school that was covered with weeds. Part of that field is now a garden filled with vegetables and fruits, and the rest is a soccer field.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30343\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30343\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2017-05-27_kariherer_Granville_199-e1550747270159.jpg\" alt=\"Have you ever considered taking part in volunteer opportunities while traveling?

This was the first time they had held an event of this kind,&nbsp;and it was a great success.

When planning your stay at the Hyatt Ziva or Hyatt Zilara, think about your gifts and talents. What activities&nbsp;are you most passionate about? There are truly countless ways you can volunteer.
