PROJECT: The YMCA Fairthorne is a vast, natural, outdoor environment where memories are made to last a lifetime, adventures are found around every corner and you have the chance to deliver life changing experiences. They are offering international volunteers the opportunity to run a variety of activities with children and will provide you with valuable experience and training.
Every year we welcome thousands of visitors to YMCA Fairthorne Manor’s 94 acre site on the south coast of England. Our site includes sweeping grounds, mature woodland, a lake, access to the River Hamble and a range of exciting outdoor activities. Fairthorne is a place of firsts – from toddlers walking, kids splashing in the mud, being away from home, trying new activities or a school trip to remember. Enabling young people to grow and thrive is only made possible with the help of top-notch volunteers from around the globe. Can you help add the sparkle to everything we do?
