Project Trust

Project Trust is an educational charity that has been providing volunteers with the original Gap Year experience for 40 years. Our placements are specifically for 17-19 year old school leavers currently in full time education.  We operate in a number of countries across Africa, Asia and South & Central America providing a broad variety of projects. The type of work available includes social care, English teaching, outdoor activities and assisting in community development schemes.

All volunteers are asked to attend a selection course so that we can be sure you go to a project that matches your skills. Pre-departure training is given as is a debriefing course on return. Volunteers are given assistance from Project Trust to raise a proportion of their costs through fund-raising activities. Living expenses, flights, food, overseas support and accommodation are provided. To help our volunteers truly integrate into their host community, learn a new language, make friends and make a real difference we offer long term placements of 8 and 12 months.
