Volunteer

International volunteering is at the heart of people to people development

AVI volunteers:

• Work with overseas organisations and their staff to grow their organisations to meet their nation's most pressing  
  development needs.
• Work towards improving: health outcomes; access to quality education; sustainable livelihoods which reduce poverty and seek to conserve the environment; good governance; and increasing civic participation of vulnerable  communities. AVI volunteers are diverse: lawyers, teachers, nurses, tradesmen, accountants and zoologists.
• Contribute to a greater overseas understanding of Australia and building long-lasting relationships between Australia's communities and the world.
