Volunteer

Volunteering is an optional and freely chosen act of an individual or group giving their time and labor, often for community service.

WCEI exists to achieve community-determined development outcomes through the exchange of skills and knowledge by connecting people, organisations and communities, both within Australia and internationally.

Our programs are not “off-the-shelf” voluntourism; they are programs where we know the change is wanted, achievable, impactful, and sustainable.

We invest in long-term partnerships with a range of businesses, governments, and non-profit organisations that flourish into deep and rewarding cross-sector exchanges.

Modality of Operation

  • Change that is locally owned and led
  • Inspiring, engaging and connecting people around the world
  • Strengthening capacity through sharing expertise and knowledge
  • Building relationships of mutual respect and trust
  • Evidence-based practice and outcomes reporting
  • Supporting, not driving the development process
  • Respect for human rights and a strengths-based culturally appropriate and inclusive approach
  • Volunteering for development and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development


Volunteering Fee:
10$/month
