Volunteer in the glorious isolation of the South Pacific Ocean... working on a variety of
community development projects alongside islanders.
Historically self-reliant, modern-day Cook Islanders' resiliency and natural resourcefulness are challenged by new realities: distant foreign markets, lack of natural resources, periodic natural disasters, and inadequate infrastructure. Work one-on-one with
youth,
seniors and families striving to improve their futures on education, social service and conservation projects!
You will have numerous opportunities to explore the islands. Recreational options include snorkeling, scuba diving, attending island dance shows, hiking the interior highlands and circling the island by car. A slow drive around
Rarotonga takes less than an hour (about 21 miles in circumference). If you're feeling especially adventurous, you can do the cross-island trek or fly to one of the remote outer islands for a weekend excursion. Free-time arrangements and costs are your responsibility.
