Youth volunteering

We offer two paths for young people interested in volunteering.

Our UniVol programme

If you are currently enrolled with Otago University’s Geography Department or with Victoria University’s Development Studies Department, you may be eligible to apply for VSA’s UniVol programme. Recruitment for the 2013 UniVol programme will take place in May/June 2012. To find out more, contact us.

Restless Development

Read more about volunteering through Restless Development.

NB: During 2012 VSA will not be recruiting volunteers to work with Restless Development.


Donate to VSA

It costs money to send volunteers overseas and every dollar you donate to VSA goes towards programmes that really do work.
