Projects Abroad began in 1992 when Peter Slowe, a Geography Professor, was approached by his students for the chance to travel abroad and gain work experience. Now, with over 600 trained staff in our destinations, and offering over 100 generic placements and a wide choice within these placements, we are now the world’s leading overseas volunteering and gap-year organisation

We help to create local employment wherever we send volunteers. We employ many people directly and provide plenty of work indirectly through the services we provide for volunteers.

Having so many colleagues around the world means that we have an extensive network of local knowledge, enabling us to channel the skills of our volunteers to places they are really needed.
