AUST YOUTH AMBASSADORS FOR DEVELOPMENT (AYAD)

The Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development (AYAD) Program is now calling for applications for its latest round of volunteer assignments and we feel members of the Notre Dame Law Student’s Society would be interested in learning more about this!
The AYAD Program provides overseas volunteer opportunities to hundreds of young skilled Australians looking to volunteer in Africa, Asia or The Pacific. In fact, each year the AYAD Program supports 400 Australian volunteers with paid volunteer work, allowing them to make a difference in developing countries. The program is open to any Australian citizen aged 18-30 and assignments are 3-12 months.

The Program, funded by AusAID, provides
  • Paid Volunteer work through living allowances
  • Training before, during and after your Africa, Asia or The Pacific volunteer assignment
  • Medical and emergency support whilst in-country
  • In-country support to all volunteers to help you settle in
There are 100’s of assignments on offer across all industry sectors, from Human Rights to Agriculture to IT! All assignments can be found on www.ayad.com.au/assignments , but here are just a few sample assignments that may interest your members:
Women’s Development Officer, Tonga
Agriculturist, Philippines
Teaching English to Young Learners Developer, Indonesia
IT Support Officer, Solomon Islands
