Our programs are uniquely designed to offer a combination of culture, contribution, and challenge. While many organisations focus on a single project in one location, our programmes provide a mix of project work across various locations, allowing participants to experience diverse environments and cultures.
We also integrate adventure into our programmes, such as the iconic Machu Picchu trek, something not commonly offered by other companies. Participants join small, close-knit teams, staying together throughout the entire programme. This structure fosters strong friendships and a supportive atmosphere, in contrast to other travel companies where individuals may travel solo or only with a friend.
Our teams consist of midlife-aged individuals only, ensuring everyone is on the same wavelength. Unlike other organisations that mix age groups - where, for example, a 19-year-old might volunteer alongside someone in their 50s - our approach creates a more cohesive and relatable group dynamic.
Our thoughtfully planned programmes equip participants with life-enhancing skills, such as teamwork, resilience, confidence, problem-solving, empathy, budgeting, and organisation. These skills not only enrich their experiences but also stand out during job interviews.
Additionally, we provide professional, caring, and qualified leaders who stay in situ with the group throughout the programme, ensuring consistent support and guidance. This contrasts with other organisations that rely on local representatives who may be located far away.
Safety and comfort are also top priorities. We transport participants in safe, private vehicles, provide three home-cooked meals daily (including weekends), and offer accommodations in dedicated Leap team houses. This is a significant difference from programmes that expect volunteers to use public transport, live in homestays, or be dispersed across separate houses. Our approach ensures a cohesive and nurturing environment for all participants.
