I absolutely love the team!

Everyone I met and everything I was able to do to support the marine conservation efforts of the Great Barrier Reef was incredible. I absolutely love the team! I feel so motivated to keep supporting the cause and keeping the reef as safe as possible.

Through my experience I feel I gained more knowledge about the underlying issue of climate change and how it not only effects the earth but the indigenous people that rely off it. I gained many amazing memories and friendships, that I couldn’t be more grateful for!

Local team was very supportive from day 1

Local team was very supportive from day 1 with any questions I had and very clear in making the work schedule available in advance. I have gained a better understanding of myself as a person. I believe that you don't truly know who you are until you are pushed out of your comforts and faced with new challenges. For those looking to grow and develop as a person I would highly recommend this programme. I have really enjoyed and learned a lot from this experience and I hope I can volunteer with you...
