Our Vision, Work, Values
Our vision
We at AVI have a vision of a peaceful, just and sustainable
world; a world of respectful global relationships where all people
have access to the resources they need, the opportunity to achieve
their potential, the right to make decisions about the kind of
development they want and to participate in the future of their own
communities.
Our work
International volunteering based on reciprocal learning through
commitment, engagement and solidarity contributes to such a world.
International volunteers share their knowledge, experiences and
skills as they live, work and learn in response to needs expressed
by local communities. Australian Volunteers International provides
opportunities for Australians to become volunteers and assists them
in sharing the learning from their international experiences.
Our values
Australian Volunteers International is guided by principles of
equity, respect, integrity, cultural diversity and partnership.
