WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT?
ACVE - Aotearoa Cultural & Volunteer Exchange - are here to help you every step of the way to volunteer abroad and be part of a meaningful cultural exchange. Our foundations are built on getting cultures together, harmonising the world and creating greater understanding and tolerance.
So, call it what you like - gap year, volunteering abroad, overseas experience, cultural exchange - we are all about young people from all over the world coming together, learning from each other and creating greater cultural connections and understanding across the globe. It's a way for you to learn about the world, to grow as a person, and have life-changing experiences that you can't get anywhere else. Oh, and it's also one hell of a lot of fun!
If you're aged between 17 - 35 years old, are feeling like there's something else out there for you and want to be a part of an ethical, adventurous and life-changing organisation, then get in touch today! We can't wait to show you the journey that awaits!
