Whether you’re a novice or a trained diver, greenFORCE can offer you an amazing opportunity to assist   in the protection of one of the worlds’ most amazing and vulnerable eco-systems whilst gaining a valuable PADI dive qualification.


 Belize Rainforest Conservation:
Join trekFORCE in this authentic jungle environment and help provide practical front line conservation and infrastructure construction projects, such as the building of a watch tower for Forest Wardens and a remote research station for visiting scientists. This project has been running for 20 years and we are now the first non-Belizean NGO to be given a portion of the rainforest to sustain.

 Tanzania Wildlife Conservation:
Join greenFORCE Tanzania as a volunteer and help protect and conserve the land and lives of both man and beast by living with the Maasai tribe and participating in community development and wildlife conservation projects in Tanzania, East Africa.



 Teaching:
Join gapFORCE and earn money through teaching in one of our numerous locations ranging from Ecuador and Australia to Thailand and China. You’ll also be taught certified teaching methods, with plenty of free time to explore the local culture! Both paid and voluntary, these are great experience and rewarding courses that not only benefit you but the students too.


 Ski Instructor Courses:
Take your skiing or boarding to a new level and get a respected qualification to travel the ski world with. You will be taught by BASI (the British Association of Snowsport Instructors) Trainers, who have been specially selected for their skills, knowledge, experience and teaching ability. They are passionate about their sport and are dedicated teachers. A short hop away from our unique position in the Alps, this is the perfect chance to gain a qualification and have an amazing time simultaneously, all in 10 weeks.


 Thailand Dive Instructor Courses:
Our intimate dive instructor course has it all. Go for 3 – 6 months (depending on your previous dive qualification) and enjoy the sunny beaches of Thailand. If you need more incentive, we also provide you with over £1000 of dive equipment. Once you’ve successfully completed the dive instructor programme, you will receive the PADI qualification as well as an official National Geographic certification.


 Expedition Leader Training Course:
The trekFORCE Expedition Leader Training Course (ELTC) is an pioneering programme designed to be inclusive to all abilities. It aims to deliver a comprehensive training package that we believe sets the industry standard in Expedition Leadership. Five out of the six months are spent in remote destinations, with a strong possibility of further employment opportunities in one of the gapFORCE families.


 Ecuador:
Ecuador is becoming a very popular destination to visit. Situated beautifully near the Amazon rainforest and the Andes mountain ranges, Ecuador has a lot going for it. Now, with our diverse range of projects, it is unmissable. Work in animal sanctuaries or biology stations, test yourself by teaching or undertaking marine conservation, or you can choose our 10 week adventure, which is the perfect introduction into the heart of South America. With our cultural immersion, partnership with the Red Cross and a lot of majestic sights and activities along the way, Ecuador is definitely for you.

Visit one of the remotest countries in the world, interact with the tribespeople and take part in valuable conservation work. We have been invited by in-country partners to help boost their tourism.
