You’ll work hard, you’ll be tired and exhausted but you will go home with a pride that will never leave you.[/blockquote][ruler_divider][vc_video src=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FgoZyBReTs”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][heading header_type=”h2″ header_align=”center”]Transition Year Volunteer Programme 2025[/heading][ruler_divider][vc_column_text]Transition year is the perfect time to explore potential career paths, learn new skills, and achieve personal growth. Our one-week transition year programme allows you to do just that – get real-world experience while having fun and, most importantly, helping others!

 

Mellon Educate helps impoverished children in South Africa, get a better education. We try to include so much in an intensive work experience week helping our charity. It’s all about making a difference in the lives of some of the poorest children on the planet. During the week with us, you will be doing construction work, you will be working within our established literacy programme, you will be working directly one on one with the children you have travelled so far to help, you will also have the opportunity to work within the schools feeding programme and feed children who so desperately need it and once all that is done, you will still have time to view some of the amazing sites of the region![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column align=”center” width=”1/2″][heading header_type=”h2″ header_align=”center”]* TY Fundraising Targets 2025*[/heading][ruler_divider][heading header_type=”h3″ header_weight=”bold” header_align=”center”]Ireland & European (Euro)[/heading][pricing_list margin_top=”30″][pricing_item title=”Transition Year Volunteer” description=”Work Experience Week” price=”€3,500″][/pricing_list][ruler_divider][divider][button type=”danger” size=”lg” label=”Complete Full Application Form Online” link=”/transition-year-volunteer-application/” icon_position=”right” icon=”fa fa-clipboard” margin_left=”30″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][ruler_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”43115″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”42579″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row vertical_alignment=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”44529″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][testimonials group=”transition-year” layout=”no-image” speed=”10000″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_accordion][vc_accordion_tab state=”open” title=”WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW”][vc_column_text]
