Global Xchange: The Deal

You:

  • join a team of 18 people your age (18-25), half from the UK and half from an exchange country
  • spend three months working in an exchange country and three months working in the UK. Exchange countries vary, but recent locations for GX programmes have been Nigeria, Nepal, Ghana and Bangladesh
  • live with a host home during the exchange, giving you a real experience of local culture from the communities you are in
  • live and work with a counterpart from your exchange country, doing real jobs that make a difference to people living in challenging conditions
  • Have the experience of a lifetime if you're up for the challenge.

We:

  • pay for your training, visas, travel, medical checks, injections, accommodation and food
  • provide you with an allowance
  • support you through trained and experienced Programme Supervisors
  • don't ask you to pay for the experience. Instead we ask you to fundraise £600 towards the cost. We pay for everything else.
