Australia Youth Ambassadors for Development (AYAD) have listed the following two positions that may pique your interest. You’d be working with the Social Policy Ecology Research Institute (SPERI), a Vietnamese NGO we’ve been assisting for a few years. If you have the requisite experience, are an Australian citizen between 18 and 30 years old, are of good health and looking to broaden your experience while giving a little of yourself to poor communities, then this might be a great opportunity for you.
Click on the following links to learn more about the positions, and click here to learn more about the AYAD program itself.
As with any work in ‘developing‘ countries (I hate using that word), you need to consider well your suitability before applying, but, if you feel you’re up to the challenge, successful applicants are fully funded by AYAD to fill these positons – including travel, insurance, etc.
