Volunteering opportunities
Looking for an opportunity to serve while meeting new people and experiencing a new culture? We have a range of dynamic volunteering opportunities in both Australia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) for both groups and individuals of all ages. Join us on our Training and Medical Ship in PNG, serve at our campus in sunny Townsville, or gather a group of teens and participate in our Youth Adventures program.
Mission Build
Mission Building is a volunteer program that gives you the opportunity to experience life on a YWAM Campus all while supporting our work in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Mission Building is a flexible program that enables you to choose the dates you want to come – from two weeks to three months, all year round!
Medical Ship
Volunteering aboard the YWAM Training and Medical Ship, MV YWAM PNG, is an adventure-filled experience where you will have the opportunity to work alongside Papua New Guinea’s local health workers and other like-minded people from around the globe around a shared vision: healthy villages and a healthy Papua New Guinea.
YWAM DTS
A YWAM DTS is an adventurous five and a half month program that is designed to empower you to serve others all while growing in your faith and character.
The program includes 13 weeks of training at our campus in Townsville, before we take you on nine weeks of outreach in Australia and/or Papua New Guinea.
Gap Years
Take 12 months to grow in your faith, gain some new skills, and serve the world around you!
We have four gap year programs on offer, our Global Health Gap Year, our Media & Radio Gap Year, our Bible Gap Year, and our Maritime Gap Year.
If you are wanting to take a gap year with purpose that will set you up for life, our gap year programs are for you!
Youth Adventures
Youth Adventures is a 10-day program designed to engage teens in service and volunteerism. The program starts at our training campus in Townsville where participants undergo four days of hands-on training before we take you on outreach in communities in North Queensland or Papua New Guinea.
