Youth Challenge

Introduction

Youth Challenge Australia (YCA) is an Australian-based, not-for-profit organisation. YCA actively engages young adults in community identified projects both internationally and within Indigenous Australia. Since 1992, our programs have offered 18-30 year olds the opportunity to affect positive change in communities around the world.

Types of Projects

YCA has a wide variety of programs, ranging from 4 - 32 weeks in duration. Some programs place volunteers individually or in pairs, and others are small group programs with in-country support and trained Field Staff. YCA volunteers work across areas including Education, HIV/AIDS, Healthcare, Environmental Conservation, Construction and Income Generation.
