Africa & Asia Venture

  • About Africa & Asia Venture
    Our vision here at Africa & Asia Venture (AV) is to create volunteer opportunities for you to live and work in the developing world, to have an ‘experience for life' and to promote global citizenship. Our expertise and knowledge will allow you to get the most from your experience whilst knowing you are in safe hands. We pride ourselves in being a specialist volunteer organisation that really cares about each individual. You will become part of the AV team and, as so many past volunteers have told us: "Once an AV, always an AV!"

    Africa & Asia Venture is a not-for-profit social enterprise. Since 1993 we have sent over 5,000 gap year and graduate volunteers overseas and are one of the UK's leading ‘year out' organisations. AV is also a founder member of the Year Out Group. We have a second-to-none reputation for excellent management and care, with in-country representatives (not agents) and each of our experienced staff have personal, in-depth, country knowledge.

Ecuador Venture

 Do not let its size fool you; Ecuador in South America has so much to offer. To the east lies vast stretches of rainforest jungle - part of the Amazon Basin and home to so many of the indigenous people of Ecuador. In the central highlands are the mighty Andes, where half the population of the country lives. And in the west the Pacific coastal region offers everything you would expect - sun, sand and relaxation, not forgetting Ecuador's most famous natural attraction - the Galapagos Islands! Volunteering in Ecuador with AV gives you the chance to experience life in a community, high up in the cloud forest and gain an understanding of the challenges they face. Our gap year projects and volunteer work opportunities in Ecuador balance improving your Spanish with living and working at Santa Lucia whilst making the most of all that Ecuador has to offer.
