After finishing school, you might be ready to take a year off. If you’re not sure what you want to do career-wise, it can be a great time for figuring out what you enjoy, what you’re good at and what jobs you might be best suited for. You can travel, work in different
industries, meet new people and discover more about yourself, your career goals and the world around you.
If a year off sounds like a good idea – consider these options:
Volunteering in your community
Local councils can help you find a local volunteering opportunity that is close to where you live or that matches your skills and interests. Visit the community volunteer pages of the Brimbank or Melton City councils.
Volunteering Overseas
Or make a real difference in the world by volunteering with a community or conservation organisation:
Volunteer Forever
International volunteering and gap year placements available for 17-25 year olds in a wide range of countries around the world.
