About Africa & Asia Venture
Our vision here at Africa & Asia Venture (AV) is to create volunteer opportunities for you to live and work in the developing world, to have an ‘experience for life' and to promote global citizenship. Our expertise and knowledge will allow you to get the most from your experience whilst knowing you are in safe hands. We pride ourselves in being a specialist volunteer organisation that really cares about each individual. You will become part of the AV team and, as so many past volunteers have told us: "Once an AV, always an AV!"
Africa & Asia Venture is a not-for-profit social enterprise. Since 1993 we have sent over 5,000 gap year and graduate volunteers overseas and are one of the UK's leading ‘year out' organisations. AV is also a founder member of the Year Out Group. We have a second-to-none reputation for excellent management and care, with in-country representatives (not agents) and each of our experienced staff have personal, in-depth, country knowledge.
