Omschrijving van de beoordeling

In the days before the internet, smartphones and budget airlines, an English University Professor and some overseas colleagues had an idea: What if young people could become international volunteers? They could learn new skills and contribute to communities at the same time. That was over 25 years ago and we’ve never looked back.

While plenty of other companies have followed where we lead, we’re still the gold standard in international volunteering and internships. Every Project is built on our commitment to: safety, hassle-free travel and making a real impact. Projects Abroad is a social enterprise which means we employ a business model to tackle the world’s social and environmental challenges.Our staff are all either in-country locals who we train and support, or ex-volunteers, who have been there, experienced the projects and seen what a difference they make.Our plans for the future are big. We believe that meaningful travel provide a defining experience for young people as they move from adolescence into adulthood, and we know that the work we do transforms communities.

Mission & Values
Our mission

We’re here to provide the gold standard of support and safety, so our participants can fulfil their potential, discover themselves and create positive change in the world.

Our values

Realising potential

We’re dedicated to helping our participants and staff discover what they’re capable of. We want to help you turn your passion for positive impact into real change in the world.

Transforming through travel

We want to empower people to explore the world, experience different cultures, and truly understand the specific issues in the places they visit. We know that this process changes individuals as well as the communities they travel to.

Building meaningful connections

We have learnt that real connections are at the heart of the experience, and when people with different backgrounds and skills come together, anything is possible.

Changing individuals and communities

Our model is one that works for our participants, as well as the communities we are in. We plan, monitor and evaluate all our projects in close consultation with local communities, conducting rigorous impact assessments as standard practice. This means that our participants can truly contribute while they learn and grow. All our projects add significant value to the environment, to local people and the organisations they support.

2020 at Giraffe & Lion Conservation

I am the kind of person that will take every moment and try to make the best of it. I loved getting up every morning and getting in the Jeep to go do whichever job was on for the day. Some were harder than others. Just driving through the conservancy on our way to the job was amazing. Seeing the ...
