The Power of Volunteering During a Gap Year: More Than Just Travel National Geographic’s recent article sheds light on the growing trend of students taking gap years to volunteer in conservation, and it couldn’t align more with CGCS’s mission. 🌍 As advocates for sustainable development, we firmly believe that gap year volunteering offers students not just a break, but an opportunity to make a real difference in global conservation efforts. Partnering with us means helping these students turn their passion into action, while also gaining valuable skills and contributing to global goals. Together, we can foster a generation of environmentally conscious global citizens. 🌎 #GlobalCitizenship #VolunteerAbroad #GapYear #SustainableDevelopment #PartnershipsForChange #CGCS #ConservationEfforts

Creating Lasting Change Through Volunteering 🌍 "Youth is an important stakeholder in developing countries in the long run. Volunteering gave me the space to involve young refugees where they feel part of the process." - Shuhei Nishiyama, UNHCR Uganda. We are thrilled to see stories like this, where volunteers use creative and relevant solutions to engage and empower young refugees. Volunteering isn't just about lending a hand—it's about fostering inclusion, offering growth opportunities, and making a lasting impact that resonates for years 🌱 By focusing on youth empowerment, we are investing in the leaders of tomorrow. If you or your organisation seek to make meaningful contributions to global challenges, we invite you to contact us and explore how we can support impactful volunteer initiatives. #VolunteeringImpact #YouthInclusion #VolunteerPartnerships #EmpoweringYouth #CGCS

Volunteering abroad offers remarkable personal and professional growth, but as highlighted in Volunteer Latin America's recent blog, it’s not without its challenges.

By understanding these challenges and how to overcome them, you can make the most of your time volunteering in a new country." CGCS believes these challenges are powerful learning moments and encourages individuals from all backgrounds to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the growth and skills gained through international volunteering 🌍 Interested in partnering with us to make a bigger impact?
