Volunteer Program Areas in Fiji
Education and Teaching Programs
Many schools in Fiji are under-resourced, particularly in rural areas. Volunteers support local teachers and help enhance students’ learning experience—especially in English and basic literacy.
Volunteer roles include:
- Assisting local teachers with lesson planning and classroom support
- Tutoring students in English, math, and science
- Organizing creative workshops (arts, music, sports)
- Encouraging student confidence through one-on-one interaction
Impact: Help bridge the educational gap and give students the tools to pursue brighter futures.
Healthcare and Public Health Outreach
Healthcare access in Fiji can be limited, especially on outer islands. Volunteers in health-related programs support clinics and public health campaigns, promoting wellness and education in underserved areas.
Volunteer roles include:
- Assisting in health clinics and rural medical posts
- Supporting awareness campaigns on nutrition, hygiene, and disease prevention
- Helping with patient intake and health surveys
- Educating schoolchildren and communities about healthy practices
Impact: Promote better health outcomes and empower communities with vital health knowledge.
Marine and Environmental Conservation
Fiji’s coral reefs and marine biodiversity are under threat from climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Conservation volunteers work to protect these fragile ecosystems through hands-on initiatives and community education.
Volunteer roles include:
- Participating in reef monitoring and marine biodiversity assessments
