Price
Because we are a non-profit organisation when you join Gap Chile, you get a lot for your money. We would love to let everyone volunteer for free but we want to make sure that you have everything you need to be fit, healthy, safe and full of time and energy to contribute to the kids and the causes you choose. That is why we provide you with good accommodation, good security and home cooked meals. Whilst you are in the house you will be looked after by Maria, who everyone loves (read what others say about her). No problem is too big or too small for Maria and she will work tirelessly to make sure you are happy and well fed. You are looking after the children of Chile so we want to look after you!
Are you interested? you should be, this is not your average Gap Year or Volunteer project, you really have the chance to contribute and make a difference whilst feeling part of the Gap Chile family. So you have been saving hard to give something back to people who haven’t had the opportunities you have so you probably now want to know what the cost is right?
