PR Log (Press Release) –
Jan 26, 2009 – Following the recent UCAS deadline, many college and A level students might be feeling anxious about their decisions. Those taking a year out may be particularly apprehensive as to how this will affect their future. Gap year charity Lattitude suggests community projects abroad could be the answer.
Lattitude urges 17-25 year olds planning a gap year to use the time off productively, by making a real, positive difference to a community abroad. By living and working in global communities supporting teaching, medical, caring and environmental projects, volunteers learn invaluable life lessons, which can help to shape them as individuals and make plans for the future. Dispelling concerns that a year out can dissuade a return to education, Richard McKenzie of Lattitude explains “Living abroad and being completely immersed in a new culture helps Lattitude volunteers to gain independence, work and life experience. They can also develop skills such as teaching English or learning a new language in Latin America, China or Japan. It actually encourages the volunteer to continue with his or her education.” Richard goes on to explain. “The project can also be added to a personal statement and CV, which gives returned volunteers the edge over fellow university or job applicants. The Lattitude experience is a real eye opener to young volunteers, often highlighting the privileges and opportunities that we all take for granted, including higher education.” Visit http://www.lattitude.org.uk -Ends- # # # Lattitude Global Volunteering (http://www.Lattitude.org.uk) is a charity specialising in volunteering for 17 – 25 year olds. We have a global vision and aim to provide unique experiences of voluntary work placements for young people from around the world.
