Amazing Travel Opportunity
International Student Volunteers (ISV) is looking for students from University of Wollongong to travel overseas this summer on its exciting volunteer and adventure programs.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to travel with a group of students from all over the world (18 years and over) on volunteer projects and adventure tours to either Costa Rica, New Zealand, or Thailand (South African projects now fully booked!) . The standard ISV Program lasts for 1 month but some students elect to travel from two weeks up to three months.
Travelling alongside ISV trained project and tour leaders, students will spend the first two weeks volunteering in real hands on projects, in either social community development (community education projects, building houses for refugees, teaching children English etc) or conservation (working with endangered sea turtles, elephants and dolphins, ecosystem rehabilitation, environmental education etc).
The second two weeks will see participants launch into an adrenaline filled cultural and adventure tour of their chosen country, involving such activities as white water rafting, glacier climbing, wildlife safaris, waterfall rappelling, scuba diving and jungle kayaking.
What about some study on the side?? Some students may also apply to receive academic credit through R.M.I.T in Melbourne for their participation in the ISV program as there is a strong educational element throughout the entire trip. Receive up to 8 credit points for a maximum 4 weeks’ worth of “class time”. You just need to talk with your faculty’s Dean and arrange the subject and off you go!
ISV will be holding INFORMATION MEETINGS ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25th
In Bld 35-G45 @ 1:30 and 2:30
