Lattitude Global Volunteering

2014 applications now open!

Applications are now open for students interested in embarking on a volunteering placement in a new culture and community during their gap year in 2014. Lattitude is the original gap year organisation, having supported young Australians on worthwhile and challenging placements for over 40 years.

Placements are available within their region in Asia/Pacific, or further afield in Europe, the Americas and Africa. Exciting additions to the program next year include Japan as a country option, and Medical Assistant placements which will be ideal for those considering a career in a health profession. To help with costs, they have a number of scholarships available to assist with placement fees or flights to certain countries.

Their website runs through all the details and includes an Application Form for students to download. Their application deadline for all placement options this year is Friday 21 June.
