Benefits and advantages of the program: |
|
|
All volunteers will attend a selection course, a training course and on return to the UK after their twelve months overseas, a debriefing course. We are a small charity and send roughly 200 volunteers to around 25 countries each year, this means we get to know each of our volunteers individually. In the last 36 years we have sent over 4,000 volunteers overseas, as one of the oldest gap year charites we have a wealth of experience to draw from. We have a huge backup support network in both the UK and throughout the world.
