Past Programs

National selection and participation in the Ship for World Youth program is a tremendous privilege and often has a powerful impact in the lives of the youth delegates. 

In addition to the various domestic and international projects we conduct, the Australian Alumni believes it is very important to share with our communities as much of the program as we are able.  We have provided a summary of all programs in which Australia has participated.  You are invited to read the personal views of delegates, all of which have been written upon the completion of their respective programs and their return to Australia.
