When you have arrived in New Zealand your 'Orientation Camp' starts. This will last for 8 days. You will learn about the people, culture, the local ICYE and your work placement. After the orientation, you will be off to work and to move into your new home. You will be either living with a family or in a shared living situation and work as a volunteer in a local project. In New Zealand you will have 2 placements, each lasting 5 months.
Have a look at the ICYE New Zealand database of available projects where you can browse through available placements in New Zealand and fill in a registration form.
During the month of December to January ICYE exchangees enjoy a travel month, where they can travel around New Zealand with the other exchangees.
The 'Mid-Year Camp' is a chance to catch up with other volunteers and join with your ICYE hosting committee to evaluate your first 5 months. After this camp you will go to your second placement.
The last official meeting for the volunteers is the 'Final Evaluation Camp', where you will discuss your experiences and prepare to return home - which is often the hardest part!
