Description

A co-initiative of GVN and GVN-Foundation, the Eat So They Can global fundraiser raises money for the African Children's Fund which is distributed between our partners we work alongside in Africa. So what better way to experience first hand where the money raised from these events is sent than to volunteer with one of our partners in a GVN program. You could impact the lives of young people in Thohoyandou or contribute to wildlife conservation in the Gauteng Province. Our programs in South Africa have a variety of different options from day care centres through to game reserves. All you need to decide is which one to choose!

Skills

Youth Program: This program is suitable for caring, motivated, and self-directed people. Volunteers involved in childcare should be able to display their mentoring experience, and motivate the students toward a positive future. Volunteers involved in teaching do not require a teaching qualification but they need to be confident in their subject and preferably have, or be studying towards a university degree. Reserve Program: Volunteers require no qualifications or background in conservation, just a willingness to learn and a desire to contribute. Volunteers are expected to work approximately 7 hours per (week) day. Should there be some emergency or pressing urgency in completing the work, volunteers may be asked to work longer.
