Leap to Under 18s Kenya

Join an unforgettable 10-day Leap designed specifically for students in Years 11–13, blending academic achievement with personal growth. Based in Vipingo, north of Mombasa, you'll team up with peers from different schools in a stunning coastal setting renowned for its pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and rich marine life.

This unique programme combines hands-on marine conservation with meaningful community projects, delivered in partnership with Oceans Alive, a leading local NGO. You'll contribute to coral reef regeneration, support sustainable development initiatives, and see first-hand how your actions can drive real change.

Beyond the impact work, the adventure continues with a safari in the iconic Tsavo National Park, dhow sailing on Kilifi Creek, exploring bustling markets, and connecting with locals through football games and cultural exchange.

Students can also opt to earn the International Volunteering Diploma (worth 16 UCAS points), accredited by the Centre for Global Citizenship Studies — an impressive addition to any university application and aligned with the new UCAS criteria for 2026.

This is more than a trip—it’s a chance to develop essential life skills, make lifelong friends, and stand out as a globally-minded student ready to take on the world.
