About Us

Greater Equality. A More Sustainable Environment. A More Secure World for Everyone.

At Challenges Abroad Australia, our mission is to develop the next generation of Global Citizens. We aim to help you develop new skills, become more globally aware and contribute towards creating a better world. As a social enterprise we are committed providing to sustainable experiences that have a long-term impact and are mutually beneficial to both our participants and the communities where we work. 

Since establishment, we've sent out close to 3,000 participants on our programs across 7 locations around the world!

What makes us different?

Our programs provide you with an opportunity to work on projects that make long-term, positive impacts on our global community. We do this by supporting the goals and objectives of our charity, The FutureSense Foundation. 

Challenges Abroad Australia is much more than a typical travel adventure. It's an opportunity for you to become a Global Citizen with a wider world view and cultural awareness. It's an opportunity to challenge yourself by stepping outside your comfort zone and helping us tackle some current developmental issues impacting communities across the world.

Our values:

Why should you join a program?

We could go on and on about the benefits of participating in an overseas program! In fact, you can read about them in depth here and here. Joining one of our programs is a unique opportunity to do something you've never done before and really challenge yourself. The sense of accomplishment that you'll get when you finish your program will leave you wanting to do it all over again!

Not to mention the skills that this sort of challenge will give you. In 2023:

We can guarantee these skills be extremely valuable as you go through university and then try to stand out from the crowd and land your first job!

And don't forget, this is a once in a lifetime travel adventure! You'll get to explore some awesome cultural sites, take in some breath-taking views and get incredible insight into the culture of the country you're in - far more than you'd gain as a tourist. To top it all off, you'll be working with other passionate changemakers from all over the world and you'll make incredible friendships that will last a lifetime!

So now that we've convinced you, it's time to take the leap and choose your program!
