We are passionate about what we do and work very hard to provide well supported projects where there is genuine 2 way benefit to the local communities and our volunteers

Volunteering in a Gap year

- Comprehensive 1 week-6 month programmes for challenging and fun gap years. PoD offers a wide variety of opportunities for volunteers to work in the most incredible parts of the world on their gap years. We also offer summer mini gap projects for 1-8 weeks in the summer holidays designed for people who aren't taking full gap years or University students during their summer holiday. Detailed information on both our gap years and summer mini gap volunteering programmes are available.  

Career Breaks

- 1 week-6 month programmes providing the essentials for a fulfilling career break, which can also be incorporated into existing travel plans. Our career break volunteers programmes are designed for over 21s and those looking for a more independent volunteer placement, making a difference to people, animals and the environment. More details about career breaks and voluntary work are available.  

Working holidays

- not everyone can spare a month or two to join an overseas project. For a week or more people who care can take a working holiday or ethical holiday and join our ongoing voluntary work programmes of support and development in local communities. We have an exciting selection of short working holidays and ethical holiday volunteer programmes.
