Climate change volunteering
Inspire climate action
Climate change knows no borders. It’s real and is happening right now.
Though it’s widely known that urgent action is needed to save our planet, many countries across the globe still have little to no awareness of climate change.
By joining us on our Climate Change programs, you’ll help raise awareness in communities that have little to no understanding of how their actions could be negatively impacting the planet. You’ll run workshops on climate change, waste management and the 5 R’s of sustainability with children and adults to raise awareness and enact change.
If you want to be a part of helping shape the next generation of change-makers, this is the program for you.

What to expect as a climate change volunteer
The FutureSense Foundation
Be a part of something bigger
As a GapGuru traveller, you’ll be supporting our partner charity, the FutureSense Foundation, to work toward the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. These are lofty goals, like ensuring healthy lives, quality education and ending hunger.
Our programs and initiatives with the FutureSense Foundation work towards achieving a ‘Fairer World’, a world in which each person has the opportunity to meet their aspirations for a better future.

Our Climate Change programs
Where do you want to make your impact?
At GapGuru we’ve crafted our climate Impact programs to be in line with the UN’s thirteenth goal of their Sustainable Development manifesto – to “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”.
As a volunteer in any of our teaching programs across the globe, you’ll help achieve that goal.
