mindthegap is a social enterprise company specializing in unique and socially responsible volunteer experiences for gap year and career break volunteers. We offer community, conservation, micro-enterprise and educational gap year projects in Borneo, Ecuador, India and Sierra Leone that genuinely make a difference to all involved.
Our volunteer projects matter. As a consequence they deliver realistic and sustainable outcomes.
The people who volunteer with us are special and they are the kind of people that want to taste the world, and have a positive impact. They are on a mission, both personal and global.
