Leadership Development
We believe leaders are made, not born. Think Pacific creates a powerful experiential leadership experience, to accelerate the development of future Fijian leaders. We immerse groups of inspired international volunteers, into rural Fijian communities to work with local Fijian youths.
Learn Why Think Pacific is So Unique
Fiji is a young country with around 62 percent of the population below the age of 35. On a Think Pacific project, you will assist the Fijian Government to achieve the goals of;
- “Empowering youths to be agents of change”
- “Empowering women to ensure they reach their full development potential”
- “Promoting youth issues and youth participation in leadership”
