Experience Programs, the mission and volunteer placement unit of UnitingWorld, has released its full placement list for 2010.  The placement opportunities span Asia, Africa and the Pacific and have been created in consultation with Uniting Church partner churches worldwide.  Volunteer placements are mutually rewarding experiences – to share skills and learn from another culture.

At UnitingWorld we’re all about “connecting communities for life” and what better way to do this than go and be part of this connection?

UnitingWorld works with Australian church communities and our church partners across Asia, the Pacific and Africa, building links and changing lives.  Much of our work focuses on those on the margins of society.  This means that most of our volunteers go into unpaid positions, receiving only an allowance and support from UnitingWorld and generous supporters like you!

Volunteers give their time energy and resources to serve on behalf of all members of the Uniting Church in Australia.  All placements are at the specific request of our international church partners and we develop these to place a volunteer in the host church community.

You may be a teacher, a mechanic or a farmer.  You may be a specialist in IT, business administration, youth work generation or public health.  Whatever you’re good at; our partner churches need you.

More than 100 opportunities are available on our website at http://www.unitingworld.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2010-detailed-POSITION-DESCRIPTIONS.pdf.   If you think you may be interested in volunteering, please contact Kathy Pereira, Associate Director for Experience Programs at kathyp@unitingworld.org.au.
