Dates and Costs

Departure dates linked to school terms

The departure dates of our long ventures link to the academic year. The length of time on project matches the school term, ensuring stability for the students as volunteers coming and going can be very disruptive.  Term dates are subject to change at short notice therefore the dates below are for planning purposes only. As soon as we have official confirmation of dates we will let you know.
