The program supports skilled young Australians aged 18–30 who want to live, work and make a difference in the Asia-Pacific region.
The AYAD program aims to send Australian volunteers on 3–12 assignments throughout Asia and the Pacific. The Youth Ambassadors receive a living and accommodation allowance from the Federal Government’s overseas aid agency AusAID, and all airfares, medicals and pre-departure training costs are covered.
AYAD offers assignments in a diverse range of sectors including Education, Environment, Gender, Governance, Health Infrastructure, Rural Development and Trades.
Information sessions will be held in all Australian capital cities and some regional centres from 10–27 August 2009.

Third Sector acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
