Description
As a volunteer in our project in Cape Town, you will play a significant role in the enrichment of children from disadvantaged communities. Your tasks are varied and fulfilling:
You will teach the children how to swim, surf and also skate, not only developing their sporting skills but also boosting their self-confidence. Leading and teaching sports programs, organizing fun days and challenges – all this will be part of your volunteer work. At the education centers you will help children learn basic skills in the mornings, which can improve their education and future prospects. Motivating and showing them opportunities and activities for the future helps the young people to recognize and realize their potential. Your role as an inspirational role model plays a key part in building social and emotional skills that will stay with the children throughout their lives.

FAQ
All programs can be booked with friends. If you would like to book a program as a group, we recommend that you enquire in advance. Each person must book the project individually.
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.
During the language school and in the volunteering projects, you will always have a direct contact person to help you with any problems. Of course you can also always contact us.
