\"ProjectTrustLogoB200\"<\/a>Project Trust is now welcoming applications from those leaving school in 2017 who are interested in becoming Global Volunteers.<\/p>\n

Project Trust’s aims are to\u00a0“empower young people to be confident, creative and resilient through a challenging volunteering experience overseas.\u00a0 Acting as responsible citizens and effective contributors, volunteers make a positive difference to their overseas host communities and share their learning and understanding when they return home.\u00a0”<\/p>\n

From the charity\u2019s home on the Hebridean island of Coll, Project Trust selects around 300 young people from across the UK for 8 – 12 month teaching, social care and outward bound projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America.<\/p>\n

\u201cProject Trust gives young people the opportunity to explore the world whilst making a real contribution to the global community. \u2026 you don\u2019t just see a place but become part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Global-Citizenship-Ambassadors\"
\nWorking and living in challenging environments within communities around the world, offers volunteers an opportunity to\u00a0develop a deeper understanding of various global issues.\u00a0 Through Project Trust\u2019s Global Citizenship programme, returned volunteers also share their experiences and knowledge with schools across the UK. Volunteers can receive an accreditation of a Level 3 Foundation Year in Global Volunteering and Citizenship as formal recognition of their learning.<\/p>\n

Volunteering overseas with Project Trust is open to all young people with the desire, motivation and aptitudes required to succeed.\u00a0 A bursary fund has recently been established to provide financial assistance to volunteers who may require extra support.<\/p>\n
