Oyster Worldwide Gap Years

Travelling with Oyster Worldwide on your Gap Year

Oyster Worldwide offer over 60 paid and volunteer projects in 23 countries across the globe. Oyster are dedicated to offering experiences with a purpose that are beneficial not only to the participants but also to the local communities and environment. We are a dedicated team who take the time to get to know our participants. We thoroughly research and hand pick of all our projects to ensure that they live up to our high standards.

Why are Oyster Worldwide so good to travel with?

We offer a wide range of opportunities in volunteering, teaching, paid work, paid ski seasons and family expeditions. For many, an Oyster Worldwide project may be a first trip away from home or it may be something that you have always wanted to do and have never been able to find a way how to. We offer continued support and advice before departure to make sure that you are fully prepared for your trip ahead. That support continues whilst you are overseas from our local representatives, project partners and the Oyster HQ in the UK. As well as helping communities in a positive way, our participants develop new levels of confidence, maturity and independence. Expect to develop skills and memories that will last a lifetime and make lots of new friends and contacts along the way.
