Fronteering focusses on unique programs in destinations that are less visited and unspoiled. Our programs take place in the worlds last frontiers where there is more to accomplish! We do not focus on the mass destinations like Costa Rica and Thailand and instead work with smaller communities where the need is greater in countries like Guyana.
