Internships in Nadi, Fiji

Get the chance to work with injured animals from the Amazon rainforest or at a shelter for sea turtles in one of our internships abroad. At the Institute for Global Studies, we help students gain invaluable work experience in their field from an international context. Wildlife shelter work can bring out the best of human nature. Connecting with abandoned animals instills a sense of accomplishment that few tasks provide. Apart from bonding with animals, gain insight into local communities and their interactions with wildlife in their area. Meet with students, residents, and the general public to learn about their customs. Common duties include food preparation, checking in animals, interpretation to the public, medical assistance, and community outreach.

Fiji is a stunning place to spend some time volunteering abroad. Our volunteer projects in Fiji are a world away from the luxurious tourist resorts that form many people’s perceptions of the islands. Our projects are available for anyone interested in volunteering abroad –whether you’re on a gap year, career break, or as summer experience during semester breaks. Our projects in Fiji are located in and around the town of Nadi on the west coast of the island and in Suva on the east coast. Many travelers arrive at Nadi’s international airport before either flying or catching a boat straight to their island paradise. However, it is the poorer areas of Fiji’s larger towns that are most in need of our volunteer’s help. As a volunteers with Projects Abroad is Fiji you can participate in a variety of projects such as Care, Teaching, Medicine & Healthcare, Conservation & Environment, Village Culture & Community, and 2-Week High School Specials.
