Our School Leaps and Under-18 Leaps offer more than just adventure. They create the space for young people to step beyond the familiar, to connect with new cultures, and to discover what they’re capable of when they move with purpose through the world.
We’ve seen the impact these experiences can have — on confidence, curiosity, compassion — and we believe that now, more than ever, these opportunities matter. Whether you’re a school looking to design a meaningful expedition or a parent seeking a transformative journey for your teen, The Leap is the perfect launchpad for growth, connection, and a bigger view of what’s possible.
If you're a parent or educator with a young person ready for adventure, you can point them toward our Under-18 Leaps—12-day programmes designed for individual students aged 16–18. These are open enrolment, professionally led, and packed with purpose.
If you're a school looking to deliver something extraordinary, we’ll work with you to create a Tailored School Leap that fits your curriculum, calendar, and goals. You bring the students—we’ll bring the impact.
Perfect for individual teens ready to step up
Designed for students aged 16–18 from schools across the UK, our Under-18 Leaps bring together adventurous young people for a shared experience of challenge, connection, and contribution.
Students sign up individually, but travel and grow as part of a supportive team, guided every step of the way by experienced Leap leaders and local experts.

Welcome to Kuruwitu, coastal Kenya, where coral reefs meet community impact, and every day brings new opportunity for learning, leadership, and adventure.
Working in partnership with Oceans Alive, a pioneering grassroots NGO, students dive into real-world conservation and development projects that contribute to one of East Africa’s most celebrated sustainability initiatives (even visited by King Charles in 2023).
This is purposeful travel at its best—off the tourist trail, hands-on, and rooted in long-term impact.
Your Day-to-Day Might Include:
Welcome to Cambodia, a country of ancient temples, jungle landscapes, floating villages, and powerful resilience. This is a journey that goes far beyond the backpacker trail, offering cultural immersion, hands-on contribution, and a deep connection to people and place.
In partnership with local NGOs, social enterprises, and conservation initiatives, students explore Cambodia’s past and present through work that empowers women, protects wildlife, and promotes sustainability.
This is where challenge meets contribution, and unforgettable memories are made.
