    Overview

    Enjoy island paradise and rural living during this immersive program with like-minded peers on a number of diverse projects from marine conservation at our island base camp to sustainable development projects and a kid’s after school program in local villages. On this program there are many opportunities for interaction with Fijians to understand and appreciate their culture and better foster an appreciation for our teens’ own lives. 

    Outside of volunteering time, we will experience amazing adventures like ziplining, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking in sand dunes as well as cultural experiences like pottery and craft workshops, Indo-Fijian cooking lessons, soaking in mud baths and plenty of beach and ‘Island Time.’ Your volunteer program in Fiji will be forever memorable and impactful!
