About Program
Overview: Planet Aid, in collaboration with Richmond Vale Academy (RVA), is calling on individuals who are passionate about creating meaningful change to join the People 2 People Volunteer Program. This 10-month immersive experience offers the opportunity to make a tangible impact on major global challenges — from poverty and inequality to climate resilience and sustainable community development. Volunteers learn to become thoughtful, effective change-makers by working alongside local communities, supporting community-led solutions, and contributing to long-term, sustainable progress. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to support real social impact, this program gives you the chance to be part of something bigger than yourself.
Program Highlights
- Community Engagement
- Project Implementation
- Cultural Exchange

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
