Impact Explorers is a UK-based organisation offering international volunteering, internship, and gap-year programmes. Founded in 2023 by Saurabh Sabharwal, the company operates from Sutton, London, and oversees two specialist sub-brands: Volunteering Solutions and Med Trips. The organisation provides structured placements in education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and community development across regions worldwide.
History
Impact Explorers was established in 2023 to consolidate two existing programme providers founded by Sabharwal. Volunteering Solutions, launched in 2007, coordinates volunteer placements and internships in more than 25 countries, working with schools, community organisations, and non-governmental groups. Med Trips, introduced in 2020, offers medical electives and public-health internship programmes for students and recent graduates seeking practical experience in hospitals and community clinics abroad.
Programmes
Impact Explorers organises short-term international placements typically lasting between two and twelve weeks. Programmes combine practical fieldwork with cultural immersion and operate across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Activities include education, childcare, healthcare, environmental conservation, and community development.
Since 2007, the organisation's combined brands have coordinated placements for thousands of international volunteers and interns.
