As valued Volunteers committed to a World Youth International overseas volunteering placement such as our Nurses In Action or Global Adventurers Programs, you will be required to raise $1,850 (Nurses in Action) or $650 (Global Adventurer's Program). These funds will support World Youth International including our global projects, to ensure we can continue to educate, empower, and inspire positive change within the global community. Read about our projects here.

While it may seem daunting at first, you'll be surprised how easy it is once you get going and how eager your friends, family, and colleagues are to support you!

Once you have paid your program deposit, World Youth International will provide you with a link to your own online fundraising page. This fundraising page will allow you to generate the majority of your funds. This is the simplest and most effective way of fundraising, and it is fully electronic. Your page will have a fundraising target in the top right corner along with your photo. It will contain your personal story, information about World Youth International and plenty of photos and videos that your donors can view. Once a donation has been made to your page, you will receive a notification email so that you can monitor your incoming donations. Each donor will receive an official receipt which allows them to claim their donation as a tax deduction. There is no need to set up other fundraising platforms such as ‘Facebook Fundraise’, ‘Everyday Hero’ and ‘Go Fund Me.’ While these are great platforms, they do incur additional fees, all which can be avoided by using our own dedicated fundraising pages.

"I am thrilled at how well my fundraising is going so far. The page is great and so easy to set up. I was so nervous about it all but was pleasantly surprised. Also, people are loving the information provided surrounding fundraising and are very impressed with WYI and what is achieved." Leanne, Nurses in Action Volunteer

When to Fundraise

As soon as you have paid your deposit and secured your place on a program, you can begin fundraising! You have until 2 weeks before your program starts to reach the fundraising target. Once you have reached your target, you are free to continue fundraising during and after your program as well.

How to Fundraise

There are many ways you can raise your target amounts! Here are some ideas;

  • Host a fundraising event, such as a trivia or movie night, morning team, or dinner.
  • Arrange a garage sale.
  • Utilise your birthday or any special events and call upon your network for donations (instead of presents).
  • Hold a sausage sizzle at a local business, sports club, or even your local Bunnings.
  • Bake some delicious treats and sell them at a bake sale.
  • Corporate sponsorships. Approach local businesses or your own workplace and ask for sponsorships towards your fundraising target.
