It’s your time to shine
An international experience gives you the opportunity to develop and learn. You’ll develop skills in leadership, communication and team working – all of which make impressive additions to any CV as well as creating lifelong memories and friendships.
Whether it is an adventure or project you take part in, the focus is on team work, developing ideas and getting 100% stuck into our experiences. We create international experiences which strengthen your planning, motivational, creative, communication and interpersonal skills and the community projects will give you a chance to have a positive impact.
From an overland camping safari in Zimbabwe; teaching English and supporting a rural community in Indonesia; volunteering at a Community Outreach programme in Malawi; and exploring the Amazon Rainforest on water and cycling down the volcanoes of the Andes. Wherever you end up – you’ll be challenged; make new friendships; develop strong bonds and create lifelong memories.
