Adventure is about discovery. But the most powerful journeys don’t just change you, they change the places you touch, too.
At The Leap, we believe in going beyond "seeing" a place. We believe in connecting, contributing, and giving back in meaningful ways that leave a real impact. Across Costa Rica, Cambodia, Peru, Colombia, Kenya, and Sri Lanka, we create opportunities for you to step into communities, conservation efforts, and creative projects, where every moment of giving is also a moment of growth.
Here’s how you can travel with purpose and make your time truly count:
Costa Rica’s wild beauty stirs something deep, and when it does, there are powerful ways to give back.
You might help build recycling stations in Santa Teresa, teaming up with local changemakers to tackle plastic pollution and champion sustainability. Or join ASVO’s sea turtle patrols, walking remote beaches under the stars to protect fragile nests and guide hatchlings safely to the ocean.
At the Cocal Community Centre, creativity finds a home, you could lead environmental workshops for local youth, planting the seeds of future guardianship. And on marine conservation days, you’ll see first hand how simple acts like beach clean-ups ripple outward into bigger change.
In Costa Rica, contribution isn’t a side note. It’s a way of being part of the story.
In Cambodia, true impact often begins quietly, with small, thoughtful acts that make lasting ripples.
You could help build Bio Sand Filters with Water for Cambodia, bringing clean, life-changing water to rural homes. Or spark imagination through Read Club Cambodia, encouraging literacy and storytelling in eager young minds.
Join a women’s cooperative preserving traditional weaving, providing income and cultural continuity, or work alongside grassroots conservationists restoring fragile mangrove ecosystems and turtle habitats.
Here, contribution is not performance. It’s partnership.
It’s respect. It’s hope planted with steady hands.
The landscapes of Peru have supported life for millennia. What if your journey helped sustain them for generations to come?
In the highland community of Qenqo, you might take part in reforestation projects, planting native trees to rebuild biodiversity and strengthen ecosystems under threat.
Work with the EcoHuella team to understand how traditional farming techniques are adapting to modern sustainability challenges. Mentor local youth through creative skills like jewellery design, forging confidence alongside craftsmanship.
Or venture into Peru’s cloud forests to meet coffee growers striving for ethical, environmentally conscious cultivation, where every cup tells a story of resilience.
This isn’t charity.
It’s true exchange, and it roots you deeply in the land you explore.
Colombia’s beauty is undeniable. But look closer, and you’ll find communities working tirelessly to protect it, and you can be part of their story.
Help reforest the highlands around Barichara with the community team, planting native trees where wildfires once scarred the land. Step into rural classrooms, teaching English, creativity, or sport, building bridges for future opportunities.
Down along the Caribbean coast, spend time supporting kids’ foundations, offering energy, ideas, and encouragement in complex environments where support means everything.
In Colombia, contribution connects you to resilience, to rebuilding futures one tree, one lesson, one smile at a time.
Kenya’s coastline is breathtaking, but its people and ecosystems need thoughtful, sustainable support.
Dive into marine conservation, restoring coral reefs and planting mangroves that defend the coastline from erosion and climate change. Help build energy-efficient Jiko stoves that reduce deforestation and improve indoor air quality for families.
Deliver clean water to elderly and vulnerable villagers in remote communities, or join clean-up projects turning ocean plastic into tools and souvenirs, proving that waste can be opportunity when creativity leads.
Every action matters here. Every presence means progress.
And your journey leaves a footprint of hope.
If you’re ready to do more than just observe, Sri Lanka is ready for you.
Teach conversational English to rural women, opening doors to financial independence and career opportunity. Support career-building initiatives focused on hospitality, digital literacy, and entrepreneurship, helping young people step into futures filled with possibility.
Spend time on sustainable farms, learning about food security, biodiversity, and reforestation practices. Or share a cooking session with local women, swapping recipes, stories, and laughter across generations.
In Sri Lanka, impact is personal and practical.
Change flows both ways, and often, it starts with simple, human connection.
It’s easy to travel the world as a spectator. But it’s far more powerful to travel as a participant, to walk alongside the communities you visit, to lend your hands, your energy, and your heart.
These opportunities aren’t just "feel-good extras".
Volunteering abroad is a real, grounded way to make a difference, to connect deeply, and to leave behind more than footprints.
When you travel with purpose, adventure awakens something richer inside you: empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging that can’t be found on ordinary tours.
At The Leap, we create adventures that move you, and give you the chance to move the world, even just a little.
Are you ready to leap into contribution?
This is your chance to immerse yourself in Kenya’s incredible landscapes, wildlife, and communities while developing new skills and lifelong friendships. Whether you're on a career break, or seeking adventure, this programme will leave you inspired and transformed.
