Having the time of my life!
I am currently in Surfers Paradise, working in a brand-new, high-demand hostel, with a group of Internex girls as roommates, and we are having the time of our lives! Internex helped me arrange the perfect position for my gap year, as well as supported me each step of the way. Even if circumstances changed, Internex was super flexible and tailored to my needs. They also helped with my bank accounts and TFN, which was great because it took so much stress off my plate.
Even now, being here, I stay in touch with my awesome advisor, Chris, to make sure that I'm still a happy girlie in my beachy paradise.
If you are looking for a guiding hand in your working abroad experience, choose internex! You can focus on the fun part of australia-being there!

I don't want to leave :')
Being in Cusco was way better than I had imagined (and I had imagined it a lot hahaha)! Maximo just had the best and most welcoming team, with great teachers and an energizing environment. I already had a good level of spanish, but now I know a lot more and I feel confident to practice everywhere I go! I can't wait to be back here :)<3

Incredible Trip!
Wow! Travel For Teens organized an incredible trip! There were fun activities, great food, and lots of memories! This trip was a great combination of sightseeing, beaches/boating, and learning about a new culture. The three trip leaders were absolutely incredible, they were fun while still being very responsible and organized. I absolutely loved this trip!

One of the best experiences I've ever had
Everyone should go out of the comfort zones, and try a volunteering experience. It opens your mind and makes you realize what it really matters in life. I've learnt a lot, and I've learnt to value what I have. Future 4 Africa offered me this opportunity and they were even better than I expected. They took care of me in every single moment of the programm. I've had a really good time with them and I will for sure come back! Incredible people and incredible hearts! I just can say thank you.

unforgettable month in Ghana
Thanks to Future4Africa, I spent an unforgettable month in Bolgatanga, Ghana, as a nurse. I participated in various projects involving healthcare, education, sports, an orphanage, and a library. This experience was incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally, allowing me to learn, grow, and contribute to the local community. I am deeply grateful to the amazing team for their support and dedication. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I cannot wait to return

My immersion program with Maximo Nivel was incredible.
My immersion program with Maximo Nivel was incredible. I did six weeks of group class for four hours a day, and over the course of those weeks I had five different amazing teachers who I am so grateful for. Then I began a volunteer program working with the kids of adolescent mothers which was one of the most fun and rewarding things I have ever done. Throughout the entire time (three months total), I lived with an amazing local family which I know feel like I am truly a member of. Overall, what an incredible experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

My experience during these 2 months as a Teaching Assistant
My experience in Ghana was extremely positive and enriching. I carried out several missions related to education, water supply, and the construction of sustainable, affordable houses adapted to the hot climate. The association provided excellent support and comfortable living conditions, making my integration easy. The local community welcomed me warmly and showed great appreciation for my work. This experience allowed me to discover a new culture, develop new skills, and contribute to meaningful projects. I am very happy to have supported this association and its valuable work for local communities.

Best experience of my life
I spent a month in Bolgatanga (Ghana) with Future 4 Afrika in a Education program. I went to a school and gave classes to the children in the morning and we did other different activities in the afternoon, like going to orphanages to spend time and play with the kids. It was certainly the best experience for my life and I recommend it to everybody! It made me change my way of seeing life. All the people working in this NGO are angels and the took care of us like we were family. I can’t wait to come back!!!

La meilleure expérience de ma vie !
J'ai vécu ce dernier mois la plus belle expérience de ma vie. Nous avons été entourées de personnes bienveillantes dans chacune de nos missions, qui nous ont accompagnées de façon à vivre notre expérience de la façon la plus impactante et bénéfique possible. Les missions proposées étaient très intéressantes, nous avons la liberté de proposer des activités & autres occupations, nous étions très libres dans nos propositions ! À côté de cela, l'association se souciait chaque jour de notre humeur, notre journée et notre ressenti, et elle a tenu un rôle accompagnateur réellement présent. Nous avons pu faire des rencontres incroyables, et passer des moments d'échange que nous ne pourrons oublier. Nous avons aussi eu la chance de découvrir de nombreux endroits du Ghana, et d'en apprendre plus sur les cultures locales. Je n'ai qu'une hâte, c'est de revenir, pour continuer de travailler avec eux sur les nombreux projets qu'ils ont pour l'avenir, pour toutes ces personnes qu'ils aident au quotidien ! Merci future for africa 🙏🏼 *** english *** This last month has been the best experience of my life. We were surrounded by caring people on each of our missions, who helped us to live our experience in the most impactful and beneficial way possible. The missions proposed were very interesting, we had the freedom to propose activities & other occupations, we were very free in our proposals! On top of that, the association was very attentive to our mood, our day and how we felt, and played a really supportive role. We were able to meet some incredible people, and spend some unforgettable moments of exchange. We also had the chance to discover many parts of Ghana, and learn more about the local cultures. I can't wait to come back and continue working with them on the many projects they have for the future, for all the people they help on a daily basis! Thank you future for africa 🙏🏼

Primary Healthcare Assistant for underserved communities
FutureforAfrica is a reliable NGO, with coordinators who love what they do and everything collected goes to the people in full, Ghana is a beautiful country, with very happy and pleasant people, would return a thousand times.I have done several volunteers during my life, but this has been one of the best, starting from the beginning with the organization, the coordinators who have been a support before and during the trip, had a little doubt about the food, the water we could consume in the house, but everything has been clean and packaged. Every day it was planned and on weekends we could go somewhere to meet, Ghana is a beautiful country, it would return again.

Great experience.
I spent almost four weeks at Future4Africa and truly enjoyed my time there. During this period, I gained many new experiences and had the opportunity to work both in the primary school and in the community with the children in the afternoons. The time with them was incredibly rewarding and brought me a lot of joy. A special thanks goes to Joshua and Samuel, who put so much effort into making my stay unforgettable. They not only organized everything perfectly but also took me on trips to show me the country, its culture, and the beautiful nature. This gave me a very authentic insight and made my stay even more valuable. I can highly recommend Future4Africa to anyone who would like to get to know a new culture, work with children, and at the same time make a positive impact.

My time in Manuel Antonio
My time volunteering in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, was an incredible experience. I spent my time teaching English in a community project. The program is well organised and provides meaningful opportunities to contribute to the local community. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rewarding and impactful experience. The staff at Maximo are also lovely - Anika made me feel welcome from the moment i stepped in.
I would recomend to many!

Great Intro to Teaching
I really liked the layout of the class and the help I got when I couldn't understand something. It was a great introduction to teaching English. I hope in the coming weeks to take the teaching online class and also the teaching kid's class. I expect to start my job search in the new year.

Kenya Taught Me That the Greatest Impact Begins With Human Connection
My volunteering experience in Kenya was truly unforgettable\. It was an opportunity to discover a new country, connect with local families, experience a different culture, and understand the incredible value that simple acts of kindness can have in the lives of others\.
I encountered fascinating places and, above all, beautiful people whose warmth, generosity, and kindness made this journey so meaningful\. Sharing moments with local communities allowed me to look beyond differences and recognise how much we all have in common\. Through conversations, shared experiences, and genuine human connection, I learned lessons that no guidebook could ever teach me\.
This journey also became a personal challenge: an opportunity to test myself, strengthen my attitude towards service, and reflect on how I want to contribute to the world around me\. It taught me that volunteering is not simply about giving\. It is also about being willing to receive, to listen, to learn, to embrace different perspectives, and to allow others to become part of your own growth\.
I believe our actions have the greatest value when they come from a genuine desire to connect with others\. Sometimes, a little time, a kind gesture, or an open heart can create moments that remain with someone long after we have left\.
I returned from Kenya with memories I will treasure forever and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of cultural diversity and the power of service\. It was an enriching, humbling, and life\-changing experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for meaningful personal growth through international volunteering\

How I can helped turtles
I wasn’t sure I can really visit this place when I started. But now I’m really glad I’ve done it. It’s so important part of nature which we can see very rarely and more rarely we can help it or to do something for it. But here you doing incredible things, sleeping in incredible places and see incredible animals with their babies. I have just good memories and feelings after this volunteering program. It was really interesting and now I added some great new items to my resume. Thank to all team of this project for nice time! I want to back again:)

Costa Rica in October
The weather was unseasonably hot with rain almost every day for a few hours. The program was great an I enjoyed my students while teaching English. I stayed for 6 weeks which was too much for me, being from Wisconsin. I would only do 4 weeks for volunteering next time. Maybe 6 weeks if you are learning Spanish and want a lot of time for Emerson.
