About Program
Over the past 20 years, Victory Gap Year has seen over 800 students from around the world complete their gap year with us. With the tremendous success we have had in helping young people discover a life of purpose, VGY would like to invite you to volunteer with us on the VGY Volunteer Track.
Over the period of 6 weeks you will experience the South African adventure of a life time as you volunteer in and make a valuable contribution to various underprivileged communities, including the Khoisan people in The Karoo. You will also have the opportunity to serve in a local school in the heart of the local informal settlement as well as visiting numerous South African National Parks such as the Storms River mouth and go on an authentic African wildlife safari.

Program Impact
In addition to all of the above, volunteers experience authentic community by being part of Victory Church, a local church making a significant impact in our town, the Kouga area, and around the world. Learn valuable leadership skills by attending leadership classes aimed at helping you discover your life of influence.
Not only are you able to serve the less privileged, but you also have a massive opportunity to be completely immersed in the diverse and colourful South African culture.
