South Africa is an exciting place to spend time volunteering abroad or on your gap year.South Africa is a multi ethnic country with more than 20 distinct ethnic groups. The country has a new thriving middle class population. However, the country still has a high unemployment rate and there is a large section of community who have not experienced the benefits of development in their country.
We place volunteers in and around the city of Cape Town , close to the southern tip of African continent. Volunteers are placed in a variety of projects in the main city as well as within townships which are located within socially disadvantaged areas of Cape Town.
Volunteers can choose to work in Teaching projects where you would be placed in primary and secondary school placements in townships, in Childcare and Social Welfare placements, sports development program or in the exciting surf adventure program where volunteers teach underprivileged kids.
Our volunteer projects in South Africa are suitable for anyone looking to make a contribution whether on a gap year, summer placement or on family volunteering trip.
