Taking a year out? (or as someone said in this Months Yoofwurk magazine, 'A year in' which I liked) or have a few months to invest, then here art some contacts (and the tag-line* which seems to be an emerging trend in gap year-dom):
- Oasis 360 'a gap year with a difference'
- Christian Aid 'don't hang around'
- Time for God 'Quality volunteering changes lives'
- BMS -Action Team 'Ordinary people -Extraordinary lives'
- Year for God 'Welcome to Year for God'
- Careforce 'I want to be a volunteer'
- Transform (with tearfund)
- YWAM 'Discipleship training and gap year'
- DNA 'A life altering 'hot house' year'
- Youth For Christ 'YFC one'
- London City Mission 'Urban Mission'
- N Flame 'The Gap'
- Soul Survivor 'Called to lead'
- Adventure Plus 'Discipleship training, instruction and Leadership'
ht to Sarah (who appropriated my list, and I am now appropriately re-appropriating it)
If you are an organisation that feels disgruntled for being left out then e-mail me and I'll add you in!
*This whole tag-line thing prompted the random thought, "Discipleship, Exactly what was said by the man!" (with apologies to the Varnish manufacturer whose name I have forgotten)
OOoh and you've updated some elements so I am totally nickng it back. I like this collaboration lark :o)
Good stuff, as long as I get acknowledged for having acknowledged your acknowledgment and being the pre-acknowledged originator!
I can vouch for Youth For Christ, YFCone. Had a really good year :)
