Quote "Challenging, Stressful and tiring but above all it was FANTASTIC!"AV volunteers teach in classrooms, coach sports, get involved in extra curricular clubs or work in the wider community. Together with fellow AVs you will live in local houses, with a high level of independence.  Spending a significant length of time in one place gives you a chance to become fully involved and gain a sense of achievement.

Independent Travel (4 weeks)

Explore South Africa further using the confidence and local knowledge gained on your project to make the most of your travels. Take advantage of adventure activities on offer, travel up the Garden Route, relax on the white sandy beaches at the coast, go surfing or go on safari.

You choose what you do, but we are still on hand to help.
