Gap Year Volunteer Abroad Programme
Ready to break free from the ordinary and start an exciting journey of change? Your gap year is your chance to discover what you’re truly capable of, and Projects Abroad is here to help you make it unforgettable.
You’ll gain real-world experience and support communities in need at the same time. It’s an exciting and different way to start the next chapter of your life after high school. If you are looking to do something this autumn or winter, we recommend our Gap Projects:
Gap Project 1: Peru & the Galapagos(8 weeks)
Gap Project 2: Kenya & Tanzania (6 weeks)
Gap Project 3: Nepal & Cambodia(10 weeks)
On a gap year programme abroad after high school, the experience can be designed to benefit your exact interests and goals. You can explore a career you’re interested in, like medicine or law, and add relevant work experience to your resume (简历). We have options for students who’ve put off their university acceptance, and for those who don’t feel they’re ready for further education just yet.
There’s a lot you can get involved in by volunteering abroad on your gap year. You can protect endangered ecosystems and wild animals on a Conservation Project. Or, give children the educational support they desperately need on a Childcare Project. If you’re eager to be more independent, we recommend joining Flexi Trips to personalize your gap year programme.
All of our programmes focus on providing long-term, sustainable solutions. We don’t believe in quick fixes. So no matter how short or long your gap year abroad is, you’ll be part of ongoing efforts to make a real difference.
1. What can the programme help the volunteers to do?
A Take a break from busy school life.
B. Get prepared for university admissions.
C. Pay a visit to different foreign countries.
D. Enrich experience and help communities.
2. Which can best meet one’s personal needs?
A. Flexi Trips. B. Childcare Project.
C. Gap Project to Peru. D. Conservation Project.
3. Who would be interested in the programme?
A. A job hunter. B. An office worker.
C. A college teacher. D. A high school graduate.
In 1969, I was five years old in Lynchburg, Virginia, a skinny black kid of somewhat poor village. At that time, what my villagers were watching was “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind — Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on the Moon.” I always joined them with great interest.
My father was a farmer who worked from dawn until dark, struggling to feed my family. But he always took pains to do all the things to make money for his children to experience different adventures and encourage us to run after our own dreams. After Neil Armstrong’s moon landing, all the kids in the neighborhood thought I would be an astronaut one day. But I didn’t see an astronaut like me, because family background did matter.
I went on with this dream through a high school, and even a college. After graduation, I went to work for NASA. A friend of mine handed me an application and believed that I would be a great astronaut. Although I was lucky enough to be chosen, I didn’t know what it meant to be a real astronaut. In 2007, I was in Space Shuttle “Atlantis,” careening off the planet, traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, and eight and a half minutes later, the main engines cut off, and we were floating in space.
