Alternatively, feel free to call us anytime on 07 3368 3444 if you have specific questions that we can help with. We've been running overseas expeditions for over a decade and have seen hundreds of young Aussies participate in eye-opening and life-changing adventures. We are always happy to share our experiences!
Fundraising
To participate in the Tanzanian Immersion expedition, you must commit to fundraising a minimum of $500, which will contribute towards our current target of $400,000 to build yLead House. This is a new boarding school at the School of St Jude in Arusha, Tanzania, and will house 80 rural students who would otherwise not be able to attend the school due to the distance they would need to travel.
The money must not come from your parent's pockets! So get creative and come up with some fun ideas with your friends for raising money that also raise awareness about the school. If you need suggestions, take a look at what some of last year's participants did. Or consider the 'tried and tested' ways to raise funds, like holding a Saturday morning sausage sizzle at Bunnings, or selling Cadbury fundraising chocolate. You could even turn your Kili climb into a 'walkathon' and collect sponsors!
A Gap Year Experience
Some young travellers choose to use our expeditions as a launching point into a Gap Year, and spend several months living and working overseas. Through the connections that yLead has developed from travelling to these countries for the last 10 years we can help you arrange an experience that you are likely never to forget! Possibilities include working in hospitality, teaching or doing administrative work in a school, or volunteering with a local charity or organisation.
We can tailor an experience to suit you - contact us on 07 3368 3444 to start the discussion about your Gap Year Adventure!
