Overseas Action Program (OA)
Overseas Service Project (OSP)
Team program Individual placement
18 - 30 years 18 years and over (no limit)
5 or 10 weeks in length with a professionally trained Australian team Leader. Very supported and perfect for first time travellers or those who enjoy being in a group environment. You can travel for between 1 and 6 months, and the departure dates are flexible. You will have constant support from In Country Staff, but also a high degree of independence and freedom.
Hands on role building sustainable structures in rural villages while you live and play with the local community. You can choose to work in one of the pre-arranged placements or WYI will work with you to create an individual placement or project in your country of choice.
There is no need for any previous construction skills as we work hand in hand with local labourers - all you need is passion, and a commitment to give it a go and get your hands dirty.

Your construction project will build a structure which the community desperately needs, in the areas of Primary Health Care, Income Generation and Education & Training.

Individually, you will also have the opportunity to work within a community in an area you are passionate about such as education, or in an orphanage or street kids home.

There are over 40 placement options you can choose from, in the following areas:

OSP professional placements - Create an individual volunteer placement within your profession. As a trained professional, you can really use your skills to make a difference in a developing country, and the experience is invaluable.

OSP teaching placements - If you are a qualified teacher, we can place you straight into a hands-on role. We also accept non qualified teachers for this program and we provide you with a TESOL training program.

OSP general placements - If you would like to make a meaningful contribution in a developing country, but you are not exactly sure how, then this placement is for you. There are over 40 different placement options available including orphanage support, street children programs, health and sanitation projects, education, and support for community and women's groups.
