Volunteers continue humbly in "big business" of overseas aid
While senior executives and project managers in the aid industry receive up to $433,000 per year (“Aid workers earning more than Rudd”, The Australian, 18 Feb 2010), hundreds of hard-working and expert Australian volunteers humbly work for as little as 1% of these sums.
Short-term volunteers needed in Glebe (or online)
While Palms Australia's core business is recruiting, preparing and supporting volunteers for long-term overseas placements, we also depend greatly on the ability of people who contribute their skills locally.
Focus on Justice and Development
Palms Australia will be hosting Focus Workshops in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Mittagong throughout February and March.
These workshops are a great practical introduction to international volunteering, how to get involved and what it involves.
Our Mission is...
1. To build the capacity of individuals and strengthen institutions through the exchange of knowledge and skills between Palms Australia's global volunteers and partner communities.
Cross-cultural courses
Places are now available at Palms Australia's 91st Orientation Course and Encounter Preparation Program to be held in Mittagong in July 2010.
