Whether you are a student hoping to arrange a trip with your classmates to gain some experience related to your course or base your coursework on, or a department head looking to arrange a volunteer project for your class we can tailor-make an itinerary to suit you.

Volunteering as part of a university group is not only great fun it can also have many benefits for both your group and the communities that you are visiting. If you’re a first year student then you may be able to further your knowledge and gain some hands on experience that will help you for your further years of study. If you’re in your final year, you may get the chance to put some of the skills you have learnt into practice in real world situations; proving both beneficial for your studies and providing great practical work experience for gaining employment when you graduate.

The employment market today is a competitive one and many employers now demand for both the right qualifications and experience in the field. By volunteering on a project related to your studies this will help to give you some experience and will make your CV stand out when applying for jobs.

Many of Kaya’s projects relate well to specific interests and subject areas including medical projects for those looking to get valuable work experience, projects working with abused and at risk children for those with an interest in social work or psychology or marine conservation projects for those with a passion for diving.

Because we have such a varied range of projects, some that are quite specialist areas, many of our projects make a good basis for university groups to base their coursework, dissertation or thesis on and we have had many students travel with us who have chosen to do this in the past. If you are interested in finding out which project would be the most suitable for your group then please just contact one of our experienced advisors.

Most of the projects on our website are able to cater for university groups. For most groups, however, we do tend to create tailor-made itineraries which can accommodate for your groups individual needs. We understand that arranging a group volunteer placement for your school or college is something that takes a lot of organization and forward planning to ensure that every eventuality is covered and that all needs of the group are taken care with. We work closely with all our groups and take the time to ensure that all arrangements are satisfactory to the group’s needs and objectives. What’s more to keep the costs down every tenth member of the group goes for free!
