WAVA launches 'School Gap Year Volunteering Groups' programme

WAVA recently launched a new gap year group volunteering programme for 16 to 17 year old school students who want to travel and volunteer... Maybe WAVA have taken leave of our senses, but after a considerable amount of thought (and planning), they have decided to offer younger travellers who are not quite 18 years old, the chance to take part in some of the gap year volunteering programmes.

WAVA have chosen Mozambique, South Africa and Thailand as the first destinations to be included in the new gap year programme for students eager to find out more about the developing world and its conservation issues.

WAVA's School Volunteer Groups programme offers structured outdoor projects that provide hands-on animal and environmental work for students aged 16 to 17.

These students get to travel to meaningful projects in inspiring countries around the world, and experience new cultures and conservation practices that have been designed to contribute to their personal development.

Hordes of young people have approached us in the past wanting to travel and help other countries. WAVA feel that it is only fair that we give them the opportunity to do so. After all, the young people of today will 'hopefully' be the champion volunteers of tomorrow.
