Volunteering Projects in the Fiji Islands with Think Pacific

The opportunity to go to Fiji with Think Pacific was so amazing! I learned so much there and I fell in love with the Fijian culture. I made so many friendships with those from Fiji as well with those I volunteered with. Seeing the impact we made on the village and the many small ripple affects we started was beautiful. It was difficult at times but we were given such an amazing support system from our TP leaders. The memories created while living in the village will last a life time. Thank you to think pacific for this life changing experience! I am already ready to go back!

Such an incredible opportunity, I literally recommend Think Pacific to everyone! It’s perfect for anyone who hasn’t travelled before because you’re looked after so well by the think pacific team - both pre and post departure - but you’re given enough freedom to really feel like you’re developing as a person. It’s equally great if you’re an experienced traveller and are thinking of fitting a project into a longer period of travel. I definitely walked away from the trip a much more well-rounded person and I’m so grateful to Think Pacific for this.

Spending time in Fiji and volunteering for Think Pacific is an experience I will never forget.
Living in the village taught me lots about the Fijian culture, community and way of life, as well as lots about myself.

My experience was hugely impacted by my Fijian family, the youth and the other volunteers I had the pleasure of being around every day and have made lifelong friends!

I would definitely recommend Think Pacific for meeting likeminded people, gaining confidence within yourself and having an amazing summer!

I never heard of Think Pacific until my university advertised it. I’m so glad I looked into it.
You are immersed into an amazing culture alongside like minded people. Whilst having goals to achieve, you also have unlimited amounts of fun there! For example we watched a local rugby match and also went on a mountain hike.
The project itself was tonnes of fun (I did the building project) and you can tell what we were doing meant a lot to the villagers.
I recommend this to everyone, Memories made for life!

this was and always will be the best thing i've ever experienced in my life. fijian people are the kindest ever, and the culture is so beautiful. it's a once in a life time opportunity that id definitely recommend!! it's also a way to meet likeminded people and make life long friends. everything is arranged for you such as travel to the village, and the travel prep information provided is extremely useful. the leaders are always there for you throughout your time in the village and are more than happy to help

Travelling with Think Pacific has allowed me to live what I now regard as the best experience I’ve ever made in my life.

By joining their Youth Empowerment project, I’ve had the chance to travel to a remote, beautiful place like Fiji to do something good and impactful.

Since the moment I’ve arrived until the very last minute I’ve made memories that I will keep in my heart for the rest of my life: from meeting the other volunteers and the leaders at briefing, to entering the village, our first kava session, hop-hop, watching our village team rugby match, all the laughs and cries and songs and dances — precious moments that I’ll never forget.

Couldn’t recommend this enough — throw yourself fully in the project since day 1 and you’ll end up with friendships that will last for a lifetime and a family on the other side of the world!

In one word….wow!!! I can not recommend this programme highly enough the skills you develop the memories you make and most importantly the friendships and sense of community is something you will never experience else where. I now can say I have a family on the other side of the world and the impact they had on me I could never have imagined. The amount of new experiences you try and the fact of being able to fully immerse yourself into a completely new and different culture is what makes think pacific so unique. The friendships and memories will last a life time.

I did the youth empowerment trip in summer 2022 and it was so worth every penny! There was so much opportunity for personal development and we could really see the impact we had made leaving the village. My family were so welcoming and you could tell how excited they were for us to be there. If you’re looking for a great experience to gain some cultural IQ and work towards National sustainability goals, this is for you! I learnt so much about myself and made friends for life thanks to Think Pacific ❤️
