Do you want to get away from your normal 9-5 job but can't take a whole year off? Why not get out in the fresh air, feel the sun on your skin and do something new and challenging? This USA gap year package gives your the opportunity to travel to California, near San Francisco, for 4 weeks and work on a voluntary conservation project.

If this sounds tempting then you should consider joining our California Conservation project.

Volunteer Role

As a volunteer in California on your gap year in the USA, you will most likely participate in Salmon Restoration along the Medocino coast, trail construction throughout National Parks in Northern California, historical building renovation and revegitation projects.

Programme Location

The 'Golden State' of California on America's west coast

Accommodation & Meals

You will stay at our purpose built camps in Northern California. The camps are comfortable and provide for all of your needs. Most camps have social living areas with TVs and internet.

All your accommodation, meals and project related transport is included in this package, all you need to do is to turn up and enjoy yourself. As USA visas are so hard to come by this is a great way to spend time in California without the hassles of a working visa.
