Company Description

We are a multi-award winning social enterprise on a mission to build a global network of people united by their passion to make a difference. We run all our own sustainable development programs in 13 countries worldwide aligned to the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

To ensure we are truly having a lasting positive impact, we partner with local governmental and non-governmental organisations on the ground. More than 35,000 participants have either volunteered, interned, or studied abroad with us over the course of our 20 years in operation and most have noted the experience as
‘life-changing.’

Our key management and administrative teams have been based in Westlake for the past five years in the laid-back office space (complete with snack bar) which we call home. We are a pretty hardworking bunch, but we are committed to keeping things light-hearted. 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.
