National Immersion Program 2012

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

Since 2004, the St Vincent de Paul Society has run an annual Immersion Program to the remote Indigenous Community of Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa), in the far north-west of the Northern Territory.

It is an intensive two-week immersion experience that gives St Vincent de Paul volunteers the opportunity to experience what it is like to live in a remote community, and gain a better understanding of what it means to be Indigenous in Australia today.

A group of St Vincent de Paul Society volunteers visits community each year. Whilst visiting the community, the group will spend some time in the local school and run activities for young people, often during the Easter school holidays.
