“Good without guarantee.”

Written on: 18/05/2013

I applied for a placement in New Zealand and they told me that I am confirmed 99%, so I thought that I will get a placement. But unfortunately 2 months before the departure they told me that I could not get a placement because some schools could not finance the volunteering anymore. I was really shocked and frustrated... and a bit angry, too, because they could have told me earlier... Before the refusal there were some other problems with the communication, because they did not answer my... (read more)

“Life changing, great value Gap year! ”

Written on: 14/01/2013 by Stephanie_Cuenca (1 review written)

I did my gap year with Lattitude in Ecuador Sept 2007- March 2008 and have never looked back! I had two placements during my 5 months in Cuenca (south of Ecuador): teaching in a primary school in the morning and helping in an orphanage in the afternoon. My placement also included accommodation with a local family, where I was given three meals per day. I really loved my placements, especially looking after the children in the orphanage, and learnt some tough life skills (including how to... (read more)

I wanted to live in Japan to experience life in one of the most fascinating countries in the world, whilst doing something helpful and productive. I searched online and found Lattitude Global Volunteering (LGV). LGV are a charity that help in the personal and professional development of 17-25 year olds’ through comprehensive overseas volunteer placements in a local community. I went through LGV because it is a charity, thus its focus is not on money alone but more on making a lasting... (read more)

“One of the single best decisions of my life, amazing...”

Written on: 25/08/2012 by deano_1987 (1 review written)

I approached Lattitude Global Volunteering with little hope for any outcome that would benefit me but I immediately fell in love with the staff, their friendliness and willingness to help find the perfect opportunity for my situation. The interview day was very professional and I felt Lattitude approached each and every aspect to volunteering as all the "big-name" companies should do (but unfortuntely do not, as far as I am aware). They found me a unique but fantastic opportunity in... (read more)

“An Amazing Experience”

Written on: 17/08/2012 by reganator5000 (1 review written)

Lattitude helped me embark on the best experience of my life so far. I volunteered in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the Indian Himalayas, and it was both a life changing experience and a ridiculous amount of fun. It's a great start to being able to volunteer abroad, and they provide lots of support before, during and after the placements (the after part is important-reverse culture shock is unsettling, to say the least). I ahve them to thank for a fantastic time, in which i learned new... (read more)

“The best overseas volunteering experience”

Written on: 16/08/2012

I decided to take a gap year between school and uni and wanted to do some overseas volunteering because I wanted to give something back to a community very different from my own. I chose Lattitude Global Volunteering (formerly GAP Activity Projects) because I had been recommended it by my sister who also went with them. Because I was given an interview I was able to specify where exactly I wanted to go (India) and what I wanted to do (teach English) and what type of school I wanted to go to... (read more)
