Australia
- Northern Territory:
Alice Springs
Duration of Program: 9-12 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 9-12 weeks
Description:
The opportunity of volunteering in one of Australia's remote, indigenous communities has been for many, one of the most rewarding and holistic experiences in building an understanding of Australian indigenous cultures. In fact, the experience can be so profound and life changing, YCA volunteers often elect to continue volunteering in the community after their project time is finished! Due to their remote location, such communities often experience great difficulty in attracting effective, long term staff to their social and educational programs and this is where you, the YCA volunteer, can make a difference!
Highlights:
- Make a difference in your own backyard
- Develop your understanding of indigenous issues
- Support remote indigenous communities through education and sport and recreational activities
- Provide key support for youth engagement initiatives
