Program Overview

Join us in Fiji to promote the importance of mental health and offer assistance to those in need. Volunteer activities include immersing yourself in the local community and offering support to disadvantaged women and children who have escaped domestic violence. You may also provide mental health checks, counselling support, occasional walk-and-talk therapy, and group work with community members. Rest assured that you have a qualified supervisor specializing in Counseling or Psychology. Some public health activities, such as education and work alongside our nutrition and public health teams, may occur during the intake.

As a volunteer in this mental health outreach project, gain face-to-face counseling experience while supporting disadvantaged communities. At the same time, share your passion and experiences with those in need. You, too, can benefit while learning new skills and obtaining hands-on experience.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all the most common questions about Involvement Volunteers International.

Do I need to be qualified to volunteer?

No. This program is aimed at professionals or students specializing in psychology, social work, counseling, and mental health.

What does a typical day involve?

This is a new project, so you can expect to have some shorter days with 4-6 working hours or longer days with 8 working hours. It goes without saying that a day varies, so you need to be flexible with the project’s demands. Longer days or basic village stays can be challenging and tiring at times. However, our volunteers often say this is the highlight of their stay. Some of your work depends on your qualifications and skill level.

Where do I stay?

Enjoy living like a Fiji local while staying in a single or twin-share room within a private, clean, and safe Western-style home. You have a place to store your personal belongings, a private bathroom with a toilet (where possible – not all placements include this), a fan, and a single mattress or double/queen if sharing with your partner. Some homestays have self-contained flats separate from the main residence.
