Volunteering abroad in Australia

by: Bryn Pierce - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Australia and New Zealand Service
10

Starting off, I would recommend any TFT trip. They are a very experienced company with staff that are very organized and familiar with the countries that you are visiting. This Australia and New Zealand trip had the perfect amount of volunteering time as well as excursions to have fun with. We had about 20 hours of volunteer service where we helped at a non-profit animal center. Aside from these hours, we would take trips to waterfalls and beaches to relax, but also immerse ourselves into the culture. We were able to visit small markets and farms as well as iconic sights such as the Sydney Oprah House. Travel for Teens has given me new experiences worldwide that I definitely would not have been able to plan or do by myself.

A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Brisbane

High School Programs in Brisbane

High school programs in Brisbane come in a variety of forms. First is a traditional study abroad program; by studying alongside international peers at a local high school in Brisbane, you can get a taste for what school is like in Australia while making friends and connections from around the world. Study abroad programs in Brisbane typically run over the summer session for high school students so that they don’t have to miss time at their home school. Semester and full academic year programs are also offered for particularly ambitious students, too.

Adventure travel and cultural exploration are also popular types of high school programs in Brisbane. Rather than attending school during your time abroad in Brisbane, these programs will typically pack your schedule with fun activities such as trekking, snorkeling, and culturally immersive outings across the city. While you will usually not be offered academic credit for these programs, they can be an exciting and educational way to explore one of Australia’s best cities.

Last but not least, volunteering is another popular type of high school program in Brisbane for students who are looking to give back to their host community. Working at orphanages, schools, and community centers are some types of community service activities that you might take part in while volunteering in Brisbane.
