Care Work / Childcare
Volunteering with children is one of the most selfless things you can do, and it’s a fantastic way to spend your gap year. It’s a life-changing experience and you’ll help develop underprivileged children to maximise their potential and equip them with the skills for a brighter future.
There are plenty of opportunities all over the world for anyone who wants a caring gap year and hundreds of childcare programmes to choose from. You can work in an orphanage in Cambodia, or care for the elderly in New Zealand, or change the lives of street children in Vietnam; the only thing that’s limiting you is your ambition and imagination. Childcare placements are a chance for volunteers to really make a difference.
Whatever your skills or amount of time you have available to offer, there are children who will benefit from you volunteering.
Volunteering is an amazing experience, not only for you, but for everyone you work with.
