Make your Gap Year meaningful...
Traditionally Gap Years have been taken as a reward for finishing high school and a break from 14-years of continuous education. However, in this ever-changing world that we live in Gap Years are also changing. Graduates are taking time out before entering the world of work and people of all ages are choosing to take a break from their Careers as the pace of life quickens as fast as our own Wanderlust grows.
There are many reasons to take a Gap Year. Taking time off to travel the world can be one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences in your life... but what if you could change someone else's life too? Working on an i-to-i volunteer project enables you to make a real difference abroad while exploring the world in a safe, supported and sustainable way. Imagine yourself conserving pandas in China, teaching vital English language skills in Thailand or caring for disadvantaged children in Kenya.
With projects across Asia, Africa, South America and Australia there really is something for everyone.
