Community Challenge
Community Challenge allows professionals - teachers, nurses or other health professionals - as well as institutional groups an opportunity to assist with community projects in Africa, Asia and South America. Our projects involve two-week structured workshops to teach local teachers, nurses and other professionals, to improve their skills, their methodologies and generally lend support to the largely under-trained local professionals.
Our projects are organised by communities at grassroots level, allowing volunteers to immerse themselves in daily life while supporting the local people in the village. Volunteers can participate in education, health, development and community service projects.
This is a unique opportunity for teams of professionals to make a contribution in a short-term, managed placement, to pass on their skills and experience while they immerse themselves in the culture of a fascinating local culture.
Antipodeans Abroad will prepare the group and facilitate the in-country workshops with the assistance of local people. Group members will require an ability to show initiative, to organise, to assess local needs and quickly respond to them. The placement will be both professionally challenging and rewarding.
The following fields are available in various destinations:
• Teaching English
• Nursing and Community Health
• Working with kids with disabilities
• Social Work
• Construction and Renovation
What we arrange for you:
• Pre-departure Guide and Destination Brief
• Pre-screened volunteer work placement
• Accommodation and board
• 24-hour in-country support backed up by our Australian office
• Meet and greet
• Transfers to and from your placement
Please contact us for more information about destinations and projects available and how to become involved.
Antipodeans Abroad is a niche, travel company, fully owned and managed in Australia. Our base here means we understand our Australian travellers and our clients appreciate the confidence and familiarity of visiting our head office and dealing with staff based in Australia.
