在英国，每年都有成千上万的年轻人结束自己的高中学业，在开始工作或者进入大学之前，他们会先休整一年。一些年轻人会选择去其它的国家当志愿者。他们利用时间去帮助别人。比如，在学校或者医院工作，或者做一些对环境有利的事情。波林 琼斯，18岁，生活在威尔士地区的加的夫城，（一英国港口城市）。接下来的这一年她想去大学里学习中文，而她现在住在伯利兹城（拉丁美洲）。她说：“我现在和别人一起在临近伯利兹的地方做一些挽救海中的珊瑚礁的工作。这里的礁石非常美，但是如果海水被污染的话，珊瑚就会死去。我帮忙做一些生活在礁石周围的珊瑚和鱼类的研究工作。在全世界范围内，珊瑚礁在渐渐地消失。我们必须在一切都太晚了之前做一些事情去补救。”“我和我的家人一起待在这里，我会帮忙做一些家务。我不会因此得到一分钱，但是没关系。我喜欢这份工作。这儿的人们让我受益良多。当我完成我的工作后，我想在这儿多待三个月，我想环绕伯利兹城和中美洲旅行一次。”
