Company description:

To ensure we are truly having a lasting positive impact, we partner with organisations around the world. More than 35,000 participants have either volunteered, interned, or studied abroad with us over the course of 21 years in operation, and most have noted the experience as ‘life-changing’.

Our Head Office is based in Tokai, in a laid-back office space (complete with snack bar and ping-pong table). We are a pretty hard working bunch, but we are committed to keeping things lighthearted. You’re just as likely to walk into a heated discussion about a current topic in sustainable development as one about which Hogwarts house you might be sorted into.
