Typical day in a project
Every day is different, depending on the weather, the swimming level and interests of the young people in your care and your personal interests and strengths. From Monday to Friday your day will begin with you being taken to the nearby school, where you will provide support in various areas of the elementary school. You can play educational games with them, support those with learning difficulties or help with English lessons. Then you will have lunch and in the afternoon you will go to the adventure club. Here you are a role model for the mostly disadvantaged young people. Together you go to the beach, swim, surf, skate and see what else the area has to offer. You have the opportunity to play games to boost the youngsters’ self-esteem and improve the community. Then it’s back to the volunteer house. The weekends are yours to do with as you please, you can go on excursions together or simply enjoy all the benefits Cape Town has to offer.

Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in South Africa.
South Africa is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in South Africa all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, certain levels of the language of your destination country may be required to complete the project. We would be happy to advise you individually on your chosen project.
Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.
For all programs you have to be covered by foreign health insurance. We will be happy to help you find a suitable insurance policy.
