Program Description
United Planet - Gap Year Volunteer Programs in New Zealand
Join United Planet on a gap year volunteer quest in New Zealand!
United planet offers long-term volunteer opportunities to those planning a volunteering gap year down under! New Zealand is the ideal location to spend your gap year. Among rich scenery and stunning beaches, there is plenty to do during your downtime! Volunteers typically stay with host-families, although alternative independent housing can be arranged in certain cases.
Long-term volunteer can provide a true immersion experience; participants have the chance to explore all that New Zealand has to offer while giving back to local communities by conducting a variety of community development projects. Projects include environmental preservation, community development projects, and farm work.
