Key Dates

subject to alteration

Program One: July 3^rd – July 25^th

Program Two: December 7^th– 27^th

Program Three: January 4^th– 24^th

While each program runs for 3 weeks this is only the suggested minimum time of volunteer placements. As each additional week costs only $150 many volunteers choose to stay for 4-6 weeks or even longer. If you are interested in a placement of two months or more please speak to your GAPS representative – we may be able to offer you a special rate for long term stays.

It is also possible to combine a Kenya and Rwanda placement. For instance you may wish to spend a couple of weeks volunteering in Rwanda after your placement in Kenya. This will simply cost $150 per week plus the cost of the flight ($350 if arranged by GAPS).

Most volunteer placements can be arranged at any time of the year. However, outside of the above dates there will be fewer other volunteers and extra activities may not be offered. For further information speak to your GAPS representative.

Note that full payments are due 6 weeks prior to departure. If you wish for GAPS to arrange your flights full payments are due 8 weeks prior to departure.
