Long Term Volunteering (LTV) projects provide the opportunity for individuals or small groups from different background to live in a different country for a period of time from 3 to 12 months. Through these projects the volunteer has the possibility to learn a new language, experience life in a different culture, present his/her culture, gain experience and training in a certain area/field, grow emotionally and professionally, and develop his/her personal and professional skills. Being a volunteer means to be flexible, committed, willing to learn, motivated, interested in new cultures, ready to take initiatives, ready to face one's strengths and weaknesses, and to be able to handle difficulties and life experiences.

          The scope of YAP LTV projects vary greatly from project on peace, education, inclusion, environment, sustainable development, community work, arts & music, support of local NGOs to working in projects with specific focus on children/ women/ orphanages/ elderly people/ disabled people/ refugees.
