Build your own Gap Year

Want to build you own gap year? With Projects Abroad, you can.

Our Volunteer & Intern projects run year-round, with complete flexibility—go when and where you want, for however long you like.

So, if you want to take time out but you’re looking for something different to the traditional gap year experience, you can combine multiple projects to create your own custom gap year.

Sound good? Here’s what you can expect:

• Collaborate on long-term, sustainable initiatives alongside local communities
• Gain real-world professional experience to boost your CV
• Get first-hand insight into the global challenges facing people today
• Work closely with local partners and organisations
• Return home measurably more confident, independent, and resilient

We’ve been trusted since 1992.

We offer a hassle-free, flexible experience, handling the logistics so you can focus on personal growth.

You just need to know:

• Your ideal project(s) to focus on
• Your destination from over 25 countries
• Your own start date(s) and trip duration(s)

If you’re aged 17 to 24, and can’t decide, then take a look at our Global Gap Year. Visit six countries and three Continents over an incredible 28 weeks.
