International Engagement

PAYA has networks that stretch across our Blue Continent through government, business, churches, schools and universities, international organisations, and not-for-profit organisations. We use these to facilitate understanding and collaboration across the Pacific and Australia. 

Your Voice

Family gives to each other out of love, not obligation. PAYA is working to be the voice of young people across the region, and we will provide opportunities for you to speak out about the issues that matter to you, whether it is faith, economic development, climate change, or something else. We are your microphone!
