Our programmes are designed to make educated and spirited active global citizens out of all our participants. Our first program begins at the age of 11, which is where we believe an individual’s perspectives begin to take shape. At each age we have a different program – catered to match that specific age’s needs and capabilities. Our oldest program is for 19-year-old, post which we welcome all to join us as volunteers – an experience that is equally meaningful and unique.
