Architecture & urban planning
Share your archetecture and urban planning skills overseas to support locally led development.
The Australian Volunteers Program is an Australian Government-funded initiative that matches skilled Australians with partner organisations across the Pacific, Asia and Africa, supporting them to achieve locally led development goals.
Australian volunteers work with partner organisations on archetecture and urban planning projects. If you’re interested in cross-cultural exchange, experiencing new opportunities and challenging yourself, learn more about becoming an Australian volunteer. Assignments are suited to skilled volunteers who are willing to share their knowledge, be flexible and adaptable, and contribute to strengthening capacity in the local context.
Whether you're looking to volunteer in-country or remotely, check out current architecture and urban planning assignments and discover the right fit for you.
