Volunteer work abroad

A unique experience

If you are looking for an action-packed holiday or wish to get involved in a local community project, then volunteering to work abroad is for you! It bridges the gap which often exists between the country’s population and visiting tourists. It is a useful experience, which combines language learning in the country itself with working for a highly worthwhile project.

Whether in Latin America, South Africa, India, Russia or elsewhere in the world, the principle is the same: get involved in a locally run project and live with the local community. It is an effective and unique way to learn a language which you will find rewarding from both a linguistic and interpersonal point of view.

Get in touch and let’s create a truly tailor-made experience for you!
