Gap year in Asia
A gap year in Asia is a great way to experience a fascinatingly diverse culture and witness some stunning sights. i-to-i can help arrange a volunteer in Asia experience in eight very different countries – each offering you a truly unique Asia travel experience.



We believe it's important to make your gap year in Asia truly rewarding by volunteering for one of our worthwhile volunteer work projects. You can volunteer from as little as two weeks and help with wildlife preservation projects or volunteer work dedicated to alleviating poverty and hardship in communities. Volunteering for part of your gap year in Asia will mean you gain a privileged and unique understanding of the everyday life and culture of the people themselves; responsible travel in the truest sense.
