At The Leap, we know that it’s not just about where you go but why you go, and how each experience contributes toa future that’s both bold and inspiring. Our approach to gap year travel isa bout more than just seeing the world—it’s about making a lasting impact, creating unforgettable connections, and stepping confidently into the unknown.
The Leap isn’t about ticking destinations off a list; it's about connecting you with opportunities that allow you to contribute meaningfully. We design our programs to allow you to make a difference in the communities you visit.
From environmental conservation projects to educational initiatives, each journey provides you with the chance to leave a positive impact that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home. It’s this focus on meaningful contribution that turns a typical trip into something truly extraordinary.
We know that growth happens outside of your comfort zone, and we’re here to help you step into new and unfamiliar territories with confidence. Our programs encourage you to face real-world challenges, whether that’s mastering a new skill, adapting to a different culture, or working in a team to overcome obstacles.
Every experience we offer is designed to test, grow, and inspire, so you return not only with new skills but also with a newoutlook on life.
Volunteering doesn’t mean missing out on adventure. With The Leap, thrilling experiences are woven into every program, adding a layer of excitement that’s hard to find elsewhere. Imagine hiking to Machu Picchu, exploring jungles, or snorkelling in remote coral reefs.
These adventures aren’t just “extras”—they’re core to our mission of helping you step out of yourcomfort zone and grow through challenge and exploration.
Unlike other gap year programs that send travellers individually to rural villages, The Leap is built on the power of community.You’ll travel with a group of like-minded adventurers, all departing together and typically aged 18 or 19.
This means you’re not alone—you’re sharing every discovery, every challenge, and every laugh with people who understand and support you. These friendships, forged in the excitement of new places and experiences, last well beyond your time abroad.
A gap year with us is not only a chance to travel, it’s achance to invest in yourself. Our carefully crafted programs give you hands-onexperience in areas like leadership, communication, and problem-solving—allwhile volunteering on meaningful projects.
These experiences become powerful stories you can tell in university interviews or on your CV, setting you apart from others and showing that you have the drive, adaptability, and heart to make a difference.
Unlike many gap year providers, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every participant has unique goals, and we make it our mission to connect you with a project that aligns with your passions, values, and future aspirations.
Whether you’re focused on conservation, education, or social impact, we ensure that your volunteer work reflects what matters most to you—and that your experience is as impactful as it is fulfilling.
From the moment you book with us, we’re here to guide you through every step of your journey. We offer pre-departure support to prepare you for your adventure, in-country orientation, and 24/7 assistance while you’re away.
Whether you’re adjusting to a new culture or need practical advice, you can count on us to have your back. Our dedicated team is always available to ensure your experience is smooth, safe, and as rewarding as possible.
Most gap year programs focus on a single location with limited project choices. At The Leap, we give you options. We carefully select dynamic locations around the world where you’ll engage in not just one but at least 4 impactful projects per program.
From conservation to community development, you’ll experience a variety of hands-on work that broadens your skill set and gives you a well-rounded perspective on global issues—all withinone transformative trip.
Safety and support are paramount, especially when traveling abroad. That’s why each of our programs is led by a professional, experienced leader who’s with you every step of the way, day and night.
Our leaders are trained to handle any situation, whether it’s a minor question or an emergency. This level of support and care is crucial not just for our travellers, but also for parents, giving them the peace of mind that their child is in safe hands throughout the entire journey.
We’ve carefully crafted our programs to offer a blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and contribution. You’ll have the chance to explore iconic locations, experience new ways of life, and contribute to meaningful projects—all in one journey.
This unique combination means you get the best of every world: the thrill of discovery, the depth of cultural learning, and the satisfaction of making a difference. It’s a holistic approach that goes beyond what traditional travel programs offer.
