The Cagliero Project gives young Australians an opportunity to devote six to twelve months in volunteer service to youth overseas and in Australia.
The Salesians are known for their work with disadvantaged youth so the volunteer placements are usually in projects such as schools, youth centres, oratories and mission centres.
We make sure that we utilise the skills and talents of our volunteers.
Cagliero volunteers commit themselves to a Salesian spirituality and lifestyle.
This is done by participating in your specified Salesian community through living, praying and working in a Salesian way.
