The Hawke Ambassador International Volunteer Experience Program differs from traditional international exchange or study abroad Programs. Students will be based within an international non-government organisation (NGO), usually in an overseas location and working as a volunteer, rather than undertaking formal study at an overseas university. Students who are unable to travel overseas are able to work as a volunteer in a local, internationally focused Program and receive 18 units towards their degree.

The Program offers an opportunity for students to work in international and intercultural situations, and to volunteer their time and intellect in the service of others. It will assist with academic achievement, broader global and societal understanding, and leadership capacity.
 
Students will have the option to work with one of a number of possible non-governmental agencies, including:
 
  • Antipodeans Abroad
  • Australian Red Cross
  • Australian Refugee Association
  • Gap Australia
  • Oxfam
  • Projects Abroad
  • Uniting International Mission
  • Volunteering SA
  • World Youth International
  • World Vision

The Hawke Ambassador International Volunteer Experience Program has the support of the Honourable Mr Bob Hawke, former Prime Minister of Australia and is also supported by the Hawke Centre at UniSA, our Double Degree partners, and a number of local and international volunteer agencies.
