The Cagliero Project gives Australians and New Zealanders an opportunity to devote six to twelve months in volunteer service to youth in overseas Salesian communities. The Salesians are known for their work with vulnerable and disadvantaged youth. Therefore our volunteers are placed in projects such as schools, youth centres and orphanages.

We aim to utilise the skills and talents of our volunteers in order to provide the best possible contribution to the host community. Our aim is for our volunteers to walk in solidarity with young people and  for the volunteers and local community to have a mutual learning experience. We are also present in host communities to be role models, people that young people can aspire to be.

Cagliero volunteers commit themselves to working in the ‘Salesian way’. This means that young people are the central focus in all work. The Salesian way also means approaching life in a joyful way with a loving heart. Our volunteers give so much with no financial reward. As a program we pay for their travel, food and accommodation expenses. Thank you for your contribution to help us support our volunteers with their incredible work.
