Our mission

To bang down doors and break down barriers so that young people can work the world.

We might not take ourselves too seriously, but we take our mission seriously. We believe that crossing borders has the power to break down boundaries, build cultural connections and bring the world closer together. We also believe in hostel bars and beach days. Because life’s all about balance.

Impact

Some of the stuff we've been up to

Proud to be

A Certified B Corporation™

“I am 100% dying with pride that our JENZA brand is now B Corp Certified. When we launched JENZA in 2023, it was a founding commitment to work towards B Corp Certification – and it’s been a reassuringly difficult journey to get here! There’s never change without challenge, and so we’re excited to join this global community of B Corp Certified businesses, continue to advocate for the educational benefit of youth travel, and grow our impact even further.”

(Vicki, JENZA Travel Group CEO)

All about

The B Corp movement

The B Corp movement is a global movement of People Using Business as a Force for Good®. Together, we are shifting our economic system from profiting only the few to benefitting all, from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to regeneration, and from prioritising individualism to embracing interdependence.

Breaking down barriers

Access scholarship fund

JENZA only works for us if it works for others too. Founded in 2023, 5% of JENZA Travel Group profits go to our Youth Access Scholarship Fund. Designed to help support young people from under-served communities and lower-income backgrounds to have the career and confidence changing experience of working overseas, we offer full or partial funding towards any of our JENZA, BUNAC, USIT or SWAP program costs.

Down to business

Access and inclusivity

For us, travelling is about embracing similarities and celebrating differences. So, if we’re all about celebrating differences, why is our workforce mostly the same? It’s time to practice at home what we preach on the road.

We’re making changes to create a business and culture that attracts global talent from under-represented groups. This includes removing the requirement of a degree from all job specs to focus on potential over experience, becoming a remote first business to remove geographical and physical barriers, and flexible working hours to support the life, cultural and religious commitments of our workforce.
