PLANO, Texas, Jan. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The WorldVentures™ annual UNITED conference, held in Orlando, Fla. Jan. 15-17, celebrated the company's 10th anniversary of helping people achieve more fun, freedom and fulfillment and providing its Members with premium vacations at reduced prices. Over 22,000 Independent Representatives came together to celebrate past successes, look ahead to the next decade with innovative new technologies and travel products, and give back to the Orlando community.
In the spirit of its core value: Care and Concern, WorldVentures Independent Representatives kicked off the weekend by coming together on the morning of Friday, Jan. 15 to volunteer at eight area Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. The group of 350 volunteers—the largest in WorldVentures's history—were divided among eight clubs to do a variety of projects. Several of the projects were outdoors in the playground areas where volunteers worked tirelessly even during torrential rain storms. This WorldVentures Foundation volunteer effort served 1,170 Boys & Girls Clubs members in the Orlando area.
"In collaboration with our national partner, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we are proud to once again be leaving a destination better than we found it," said WorldVentures Foundation Executive Director,Gwyneth Lloyd.

Bottle schools are schools built using "eco-bricks": plastic bottles stuffed with inorganic trash. Entire communities come together to build a more sustainable educational infrastructure for their future. WorldVentures Foundation has funded 68 bottle schools to date.
