8. The best decision Iʼve ever made
9. YounGlobe is the Answer
10. “YounGlobe is an expert, independent, for-profit social enterprise,
whose primary goal is to create a fair and safe marketplace for
international volunteers and to empower our users to make informed
decisions and discover opportunity.”
11. The graduating high school class of 2009 consisted of 3,011,040
students. 96% of those students were interested in taking a gap year to
travel abroad. Only 2% actually did so. 1 in every 3 of those students went
abroad to volunteer. Most people assume that volunteering abroad is difficult
because of the costs, safety, and importance of immediately continuing with
higher education. The cost of a gap year is often as low as $3,000 –
before the expense is offset by fundraising, grants, and scholarships. Only
5% of international volunteers ever need to visit a doctor for illness while
BY THE NUMBERS
abroad. Less than 3% experience incidents of personal injury or theft.
Less than .1% becomes a victim of a serious crime, such as assault or
kidnapping. Harvard has seen the number of students deferring entrance by a
year increase by 33% in the past decade. MIT saw their number double
in the last year alone. Lack of information available to the consumer is the
#1 deterrent of international volunteering, four times out of five.
12. “YounGlobe is a resource. At YounGlobe, we aim to maximize the
experience of international volunteers, as well as their parents and
educators, while ensuring that each volunteer creates a positive
impact on the surrounding community”
13. “YounGlobe will be the first-ever company which guides a volunteer
through the entire process of international volunteering – from
choosing a destination to finding a volunteer program to arriving safely
back home”
14. “Five years from now, YounGlobe will be the central hub of the
exploding international volunteerism industry”
