Lattitude Global Volunteering is a charity specialising in volunteering for 17-25 year olds. We have a global vision and aim to provide unique experiences of voluntary work placements for young people from around the world.
Lattitude is an organisation with attitude. We are passionately concerned about the world and the issues facing us all. Above all, we are concerned about having a positive impact on the communities in which we volunteer.Formally known as Gap Activity Projects, Lattitude Global Volunteering has been sending young people on projects around the world for over 35 years. Whether it’s teaching English to children in Ecuador, working on conservation projects in New Zealand or helping in Red Cross hospitals in Japan, there’s something for everyone. Wherever in the world our volunteers end up, they make the world of difference to local communities.
As well as the benefits to the projects, our volunteers gain an enormous amount personally – from a great addition to the CV to memories which will last a lifetime.Projects typically last between three and six months, although you can stay for up to a year if you’re really keen!
Lattitude is one of the very few registered charities in the “gap year” market, and operates on a not-for-profit basis, so you can be sure you’re getting value for money. For those who still think they might struggle financially, Lattitude also runs a number of bursary schemes to help out.
Each year, almost 2,000 Lattitude volunteers make a significant difference to thousands of lives around the world, including their own. So why not take up the challenge of volunteering overseas? Please contact Hannah Jones 01189 562932 / www.lattitude.org.uk / hjones@lattitude.org.uk
