Volunteering Opportunity

 

Platform2 is a unique opportunity for 18-25 year olds in the UK to volunteer in a developing country for 10 weeks and then come back and creatively express their experience in the UK. Volunteers could be going to countries such as Ghana, South Africa, Peru, India or Malawi, for a 10 week placement which will make a real difference to the local community - all of the work is locally operated and supervised, and sustainable.

When the volunteers get back, we'll give them a platform to creatively express their experience - through art, film, photography, blogging - whatever they're into, they can use it to tell people about their trip and what it's like to live in a developing country.

Platform2 is different to most overseas volunteering opportunities because it's aimed at people who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to do something like this, so it's free. The scheme is fully-funded by the Department for International Development and run by Christian Aid, Islamic Relief and BUNAC.

If you're 18 to 25 (at the time of travel), have / are eligible for a UK passport, and want to make a difference to people in the developing world, here's your chance.
