Parent information


A lot to consider

Taking a gap year and going overseas might be a daunting prospect, not only for your son/ daughter going but also for you, watching them go.

At Lattitude Global Volunteering, your son/daughter’s safety is our top priority. We completely understand you may have concerns and queries and are here to support you as well as your son or daughter every step of the way.

We understand there is a lot to consider when choosing the right overseas programme. There are many organisations offering a variety of opportunities. But knowing which ones are the most responsible is not always easy to find. We believe our values, experience and dedication to young people as a youth development charity, makes us the top choice! But don’t just take our word for it, please feel free to read the blogs and stories of our volunteers, research about us or see our reviews on Review Centre (an Independent review site).

Staying in touch

Sometimes nothing beats a conversation, particularly if you have specific questions and queries! So if you would like to speak to one of the team then please do call us on our mainline number, 0118 959 4914. We are here to answer your questions and to give your more information about Lattitude Global Volunteering to reassure you of your son/daughter’s safety and to highlight the benefits of a Lattitude Global Volunteering placement.

If your son / daughter has decided to take a volunteering placement with Lattitude you will be kept in the loop as much as possible. Volunteers are invited to bring parents along to pre-departure briefings and all parents / guardians receive a full information pack designed for them. This includes all the relevant contact information throughout the Lattitude support network, so you can contact the right person, if you need to. It is also a chance for you to meet the team from the UK.
