Is a Gap Year Program for Me?

If you're 17+, open to unique challenges and ready to dive into a world of new experiences, then a gap year program is calling your name.

How Long are Gap Year Programs?

Our organized gap year trips are customizable so you can travel anywhere from 6 to 28 weeks. 

Although all the programs are designed to work together, no matter the duration, you'll experience a life-enhancing trip.

Looking for a shorter, flexible gap year? Flexi Trips may be for you. Pick your own start and end dates, and volunteer from as little as one week to one year.

Are These Programs Safe?

Yes! - As we employ whole teams in every destination; we know the local areas and communities inside out. 

It's rare, but if any problems or illnesses were to arise, there'll always be trained staff and a dedicated supervisor available nearby to keep you safe and secure, 24/7. 

We also carry out thorough risk assessments to ensure that all all our project destinations are safe and politically stable. For more detailed information on how we keep you safe, read our approach to safety and backup.


Why Travel with Projects Abroad?

We've spent over 30 years helping our participants fulfill their potential and make the world a better place.

  • Expertly crafted itineraries: Our carefully curated itineraries showcase the best of their destinations. So while your trip may not last forever, the memories will.
  • Local expertise: Our local guides know the regions inside and out. They will share their insights, stories, and cultural nuances, ensuring you have an authentic and enriching experience.
  • Responsible Volunteering: The work our participants do transforms local communities and protects the environment. When you travel with us, you can be confident that your journey will make a positive impact.

"Excellent for developing soft skills and social skills, especially because everyone is from different countries, backgrounds and cultures.

You’ll make lifelong friends: everyone else is from all over the world, and a massive part of it is the people you meet along the way."  Cameron S - Global Gap Year
