When taking the decision to take a gap year, there are lots of things to consider.  How long do you want to go for?  How much will it cost?  What do you want to get out of it?  If you feel that you’d like to make a real difference in a country, and you’re passionate about volunteering, then here are a few reasons why Lattitude could be for you:

• You can have confidence you will find the best Gap Year opportunities with a charity with more than 35 years experience, in sending young people on overseas projects.
• Even if you think you can’t afford a Gap Year we offer a range of bursary schemes that will allow everyone to experience the opportunity of volunteering abroad.
• You can be safe in the knowledge that there is an extensive global support network, both in the country where you’re volunteering as well as a 24h emergency phone line.
• After your Gap Year you will benefit from our interest in your personal development with our Business Partnership Scheme.  Take a look at our Business Partnership Scheme pages to see how volunteering with Lattitude could help you land your dream job!
