Australian Volunteers International (AVI) is a significant contributor to a peaceful, just and sustainable world; a world of respectful global relationships where all people have access to the resources they need, the opportunity to achieve their potential, the right to make decisions about the kind of development they want and to participate in the future of their communities.

AVI is an independent not-for-profit organisation, that has supported more than 10,000 Australians to participate in people-centred development programs around the globe. AVI's programs focus on reducing poverty, providing health and education services, promoting human rights and gender equality, and protecting the environment.
