BOOST the world volunteers are doing something beautiful
In February, April and October in 2020, we want to go to South Africa with a group of young people between the ages of 14 and 21. We do volunteer work together. The proceeds of the trip go to, among others

Professional (volunteer) Young Leaders coaches and facilitators come from the Netherlands! The Young Leaders Expedition is a permanent project of the BOOST The World foundation. In addition to education in schools in the Netherlands, young people are committed to the world, society and themselves.
The foundation also depends on donors, so there is work to be done! In short, are you interested, and / or do you feel called to do something beautiful for yourself and for the world? Then do not hesitate to contact us!

What you'll learn
Every day you or in the group or 1 to 1 with your assigned Young Leaders coach you will have a nice conversation about life or your own life. During the week with the group we look at your pitfalls, the points you want to work on and together we ensure that you can be the best version of yourself. That you can live your true potential.
how you can fundraise
Firstly, as a participant in this expedition, you pay 2500 euros in advance of the trip. Then you go out with a package that you receive from us, in which a form is added and with that you go out and tell companies, your network why you think it is so important to come along.
In addition, we encourage you to organize additional fundraising activities (sponsorship, selling King’s Day stuff, selling bracelets, VAT). Additional fundraising activities are needed to raise enough money to recoup your 2500 euro deposit.
The proceeds of your fundraising actions will go to your project and are intended for preparatory work, for the purchase of building materials, to pay the wages of local workers, to rent the necessary machines and, if necessary, to continue the project after the expedition has ended. to finish.
