Full Description

Description

Designed with 15-17 year olds in mind, this program has been created to allow teens the chance to take part in one of our rewarding volunteer programs. This gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in a developing country, experience another culture, and foster their personal growth, whilst helping communities in need.

As well as orphanages, volunteers will share their time between a variety of placements including working with babies and children, and working with disabled children, as well as teaching English to community groups.

Cost Details

A US$350 application fee (fully transferable) will secure your place on the program, with your program fee due for payment eight weeks before you begin your placement. Once your application fee is paid the remainder of the cost for your time in the Youth Tour program is: * US$997 (including US$150 fundraising portion) The in-country fee covers administrative charge, placement arrangement, accommodation, food, transportation for volunteers, supervision, visiting tours, and a project donation.
