| INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIA PROGRAM |
| |
| The YCA Indigenous Australia program provides volunteers with the opportunity to support local community organisations in remote Indigenous Australian communities. The placements YCA offers on our Indigenous Australia Program are directed by our community partners to ensure we meet the needs of the community and the volunteer's host organisation. For some programs we are able to specify exact dates, for others volunteers are assigned to a particular time period and exact dates are confirmed by the Program Manager in consultation with YCA's community partners. |

PARTICIPATION FEES
|
| YCA work hard to ensure that our fees are kept to a minimum without compromising the safety of our volunteers, or the quality of our projects. Nonetheless we appreciate that volunteering on a YCA program is a significant financial commitment, and we strongly recommend that you consider fundraising your participation fee and flight costs. YCA will support you by providing fundraising support and handy tips on some of the most effective ways to fundraise - from holding a trivia night in your favourite pub to writing letters of appeal to interested donors.
YCA is a not-for-profit organisation, ensuring that your entire participation fee goes towards the program and organisation development costs of YCA and our in-country partners, as well as the physical costs incurred in supporting you whilst on project. Your participation fee is vital to the sustainability of our programs and partners. |
