Indigenous Community Volunteers
ICV works nationally with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, organisations, businesses, families and individuals to facilitate community development projects. Communities nominate the skills they want to learn and select their own volunteers from an ICV volunteer list.
ICV transports volunteers from anywhere in the country to wherever the project is operating, from Mer to Margaret River; Halls Creek to Hobart; Melbourne to Melville Island. Regardless of the location, volunteers must be selected and invited by a community to participate in a skills-transfer project.
Community development projects create a two-way exchange of learning. The projects provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with the opportunity to learn new skills, and give volunteers the chance to live and work in an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community where they will learn first-hand about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues and culture.
