Gap Year: 6-Month + Service Learning Opportunity in Iceland

Iceland is amazing for everyone. With magnificent glaciers and active volcanoes, it is made up of beautiful hot springs and geothermal pools. In fact, 11% of the country is covered with glaciers. But it may be surprising to learn that temperatures can get pretty mild. In winter, the Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights) leaves volunteers awe-inspired. One of the smallest countries in terms of population, the history of Iceland dates back to the 13th century. United Planet is a member of the ICYE (International Cultural Youth Exchange). As a volunteer, this means you'll be hosted by an organization associated with ICYE. In this case, AUS is your host. This organization has been welcoming volunteers for over five decades in an effort to promote experiential learning.
