Why Volunteer

What it means to be a GapGuru Volunteer:
The answer depends on what you are prepared to put into it. No matter how old you are, Gapping equates to Growing. Becoming a GapGuru Volunteer means you'll be able to look back and say, 'Wow! I'm really glad I did that!' When you volunteer, you truly give. From the first day, you'll see how much the people truly need your help. And every day you're there, you'll be able to get a sense of making a difference. You'll expand your mind and widen your experience. You'll increase all kinds of skills and discover new abilities you never knew you had. A Gap that is structured and planned for maximum benefits will impress your future employers as well as your future instructors and lecturers. GapGuru Volunteers help, teach and lead in areas as diverse as wildlife conservation, music, mobile schools, and medical care.

What you pay for:
You're payment is part of the contribution you make to assisting the work of the project. It's not aid. And it's not a donation. It provides for maintaining you in the location every day you're there. It covers the costs of your accommodation, and most meals. It pays for supporting you and looking after you every day. And it's a great savings to the charity or community organisation you're helping. If GapGuru didn't identify them, find you, match you up and literally bring you together, they could never afford to acquire your help.
