Australian Volunteers International (AVI) invites community, regional, rural media around Australia to be a part of its United Nations' International Volunteer Day (5 December) celebrations.

Australian Volunteers International (AVI) invites community, regional, rural media around Australia to be a part of its United Nations' International Volunteer Day (5 December) celebrations.

In 2009, AVI's International Volunteer Day celebrations are all about "sharing a world of experience".  More than 7000 returned AVI volunteers live in communities around Australia and have an amazing story to tell about living and working in developing countries throughout Asia, the Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.

Since 1951, AVI has recruited, managed and supported skilled Australians working on long term assignments around the world. These Australians of all ages and backgrounds come from rural, regional and urban communities around the country.

So celebrate International Volunteer Day with AVI, by sharing the international volunteering stories of Australians living in your local communities.
