Challenges Abroad Australia

WHO ARE WE?

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. We take our volunteers outside their comfort zone and into unique and vibrant cultures where they are able to share their skills on meaningful real-world programs.
