Volunteering for Teens in Groups

Volunteering Abroad for Teens

IVI work with schools to provide group volunteering for students aged 15-18. 

Through a Rites of Passage inspired program, teens will engage in workshops and volunteering designed to inspire, develop confidence, independence, creating meaningful and impactful experiences. 

What is a Rite of Passage?

A Rite of Passage is when a person goes through a life-changing stage, transforming from one identity, to a new life stage. Examples of Rites of Passage include the transition from childhood to adulthood, getting married, becoming a parent, discovering a religion (e.g. being baptised). 

A ceromony or celebration is usually performed for this transitioning moment. IVI has utilised this framework to create specifically designed programs for groups of teens aged 15-18 years. This is a structured program with activities designed to expand awareness and confidence through self discovery, connectedness and giving back to those less fortunate.

Rite of Passage Stages

The Rites of Passage will usually consist of 3 stages: Separation, Transition and Integration.

The separation stage is recognising that a new life stage is about to happen and being open to this new change. 

The transition stage is the process of learning, discovering, being challenged and of ceromony. 

The final stage is the integration of the persons new found skills or knowledge and regognition/ will of a new life stage.

"My favorite thing was that baby turtles hatched while I was there and returning them to the ocean was a life-changing experience I was able to witness twice. Also living and working directly at the beach was the best and most of my free time I was spending there. Ambalangoda is such a nice place and I can’t recommend going there enough!"
