Partner with AVI
To achieve change through sustainable and ethical local development.
AVI offers a number of ways for organisations, schools, universities and international NGOs to partner with us.
Since 1951, AVI is Australia’s longest running international volunteer organisation and has supported effective and sustainable development outcomes with over 3,000 partner organisations in 89 developing countries, always bound by the conviction that the most effective change is locally owned and led.
The connections we build with all our partners develop into deep and rewarding, cross-sector relationships – where benefit flows both ways.
Our programs are not “off-the-shelf” voluntourism, instead they are programs where we know the change is wanted, achievable, impactful and sustainable.
