Volunteer in Fiji, the South Pacific

Volunteer in Fiji, the South Pacific

Projects Abroad offers a number of placements on the archipelago of Fiji, in the South Pacific, to volunteers of all ages and abilities, from anywhere in the world. Whether you are retired or on a gap-year; volunteering as an elective student or an intern; taking a career break or on holiday from school, college, university or work, we have a voluntary project to suit you.

Projects Abroad has been organising volunteer placements since 1992 and we are now the world’s leading overseas volunteering organisation. We have a host of available placements in all our destinations, which means that we can offer an incredible degree of flexibility – not only can you choose the project that you want, the duration of this project and your own start date, but we will also work with you to find a placement which best suits your abilities and interests.

Volunteer placements in the South Pacific: Fiji

We offer a range of volunteering opportunities as part of our Care and Teaching projects. On a Care placement you are most likely to find yourself working in an orphanage or a care home, supporting the staff there in whatever way you can. On a Teaching placement you will probably find yourself working in a school, teaching conversational English to a group of enthusiastic students, although if you have skils in other areas that you would like to teach, then do let us know when you apply, as this can often be accommodated.

Our office in Fiji is located in the capital, Suva, on the island of Viti Levu. Volunteering placements are located here and in the surrounding area.

Travel & Tourism in the South Pacific

There is plenty of scope for visiting other parts of Fiji whilst you are on your project; weekend trips are regularly organised by Projects Abroad staff and volunteers to places like Vanua Levu – the other major island in the archipelago. Many volunteers also like to spend a period of time travelling further afield, either at the beginning or the end of their trip, and the South Pacific offers all manner of exotic destinations, such as Vanuatu to the west, Tonga and Samoa to the east and Tuvalu to the north. New Zealand and Australia are also reachable within a few hours, by aeroplane.
