LET THE GAMES BEGIN! Join the #MyApexSocialSummer Contest ☀️

One of the things we love most about our mission is that we get to empower hundreds of people to get outside their comfort zones and create „Once in a Lifetime“ Experiences!

At Apex Social, we all, including our Care Professionals and the internal Team, all Love what we do. Because we get to work with people we love, we make a big difference in the world and still have time for other passions.

One of our Apex Core Values is:

We Value Time – We help people create memories through travel, O.I.L. (once in a lifetime) opportunities, making a difference with work they enjoy, and creating more time in their personal lives by providing flexibility and life-enhancing balance.

You, as one of our Care Professionals, get the opportunity to travel and experience daily life in a new culture and environment. This Summer we want to bring Experiential Learning to a new level at Apex by inviting YOU, our Amazing Global Care Professional Team, to have some amazing experiences as well…and maybe even get outside your own comfort zone!
