In today’s multicultural society, it’s hugely beneficial to travel and experience life in another country and culture before settling into a career. No amount of time in the classroom can replace hands-on, active learning. Our aim is for every student to complete their project with a set of experiences and transferable skills, which can profoundly improve their future:
- Gain 100 + hours of international work experience.
- Boost cultural IQ & enhance global perspectives.
- Activate global citizenship & broaden horizons.
- Contribute towards sustainable development, on behalf of our partners.
- Increase your leadership skills through collaborative work.
- Job references, certificate of completion, and LinkedIn endorsement.
- Potential employment opportunities via Think Pacific graduate scheme.
Collaboration + Culture + Challenge = Extraordinary Personal Development
Our projects in Fiji are a truly unique experience, far removed from the typical volunteer crowds and tourist destinations, offering an unparalleled experience in one of the world’s most beautiful and welcoming countries. Taking place in remote, rural villages that can only be accessed by invitation from the local chief, these opportunities allow you to immerse yourself in a way of life few people ever get to witness. You’ll become a valued member of a Fijian family, whilst working on initiatives that directly support the goals of the Fiji National Development Plan.
