Gap Year Placements – safety first!

Changing Worlds was founded in 1999 by its two Directors, Roger Salwey and David Gill. Roger Salwey was an Army officer for 5 years and has over 11 years experience of sending young people overseas, including 4 years as Operations Director at World Challenge with responsibility for sending over 5000 young people to 30 countries worldwide. David Gill is a former volunteer teacher with Voluntary Service Overseas and spent 15 years as a secondary school teacher and head of department. Our philosophy is to combine a caring approach with a sense of challenge and fun. Nearly all our staff in the UK and abroad have been with us from the beginning and draw on a wealth of in-country knowledge and experience in selecting and preparing you for your placement. Our organisation is small enough to offer a high-quality and personal service. We make sure that you get the most out of your experience through careful selection and thorough preparation at our ‘Pre-departure’ courses and an ‘Orientation’ course when you arrive in-country.

Changing Worlds is a member and active supporter of the Year Out Group and adheres to its code of practice. We feel a strong sense of responsibility for you and can promise you will be in good hands from start to finish. We are proud that so many participants have come to Changing Worlds as a result of recommendations.

Why not ask to be put in touch with those who have recently returned from one of our placements? Please review the testimonials page on the Changing Worlds site.
