A unique chance to meet new people and get to know interesting students from around the world
An opportunity to learn about the process of refugee resettlement and experience first hand the experience that a refugee young person goes in settling in Australia
Leadership and learning opportunities
Recognition by Skill Path Australia through a certificate of participation and reference for your CV
The chance to foster cross-cultural understanding and contribute toward more welcoming communities in Australia.
