Be Part of Something Bigger

How do you want to make your impact?

With GapGuru you’ll be immersed in our communities, supporting long-term, sustainable, development initiatives inline with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. All our programmes support our charity, the FutureSense Foundation. We work together to deliver programmes that address the actual challenges the local communities face to make a long-lasting impact.

We know that no one can change the world in a few weeks. But being part of GapGuru allows you to add your own link in a chain that reaches thousands. Take a look through our Impact Areas below or talk to us to help you find an opportunity that’s far more than just volunteering abroad.
