Challenges Abroad Australia is a social enterprise that offers a range of exciting student led volunteer programs that provide our participants with the opportunity to experience a new culture and develop as global citizens while making a difference to disadvantaged communities overseas. Our mission is to ignite compassion and to create a generation of global citizens. We do this through providing structured overseas community programs for young adults including group programs, individual experiences and internships in 7 destinations. We offer university promoted programs that are linked to course credit as well as student led experiences as part of our Challenge Leader program.
Our aim is to excel in creating innovative overseas programs that are mutually beneficial to both the local community and our volunteers and to become known as the organisation of choice in Australia for responsible overseas volunteering.
Every CAA program supports the goals and objectives of our international development charity, The FutureSense Foundation and has an equally profound impact on the community as it does student participants.

Not to mention the amazing opportunities to travel overseas to see our programs first hand! There is a possibility for the position to be part-time for the initial few months, we can discuss this option during the interview process.
You will need to be an outgoing individual, with a high degree of energy and enthusiasm, as well as exceptional interpersonal skills and a professional manner. We would expect you to have:
