Rethinking volunteer placement
The idea behind 'tailor made' volunteering is simple but effective.
We find you a volunteering position that matches with your education, skills and interests. Usually, this only has to take a week or two.
How?
You tell us about your education, employment history and interests and we contact organisations in Uganda in which you could do relevant and interesting volunteer work. This usually results in several suggestions to you, so that you can tell us whether we are on the right track or whether you are interested in something completely different.
Why?
It just makes more sense to have volunteers doing things that they are good at.
As a volunteer, you are a resource of development. In order to give you every chance of maximising your contribution to development, you must be placed effectively.
In order to be placed effectively, you need to be working in an area that fits your experience.
What skills are relevant?
Almost all educational degrees or professional backgrounds can be applied to development. Even if you just finished secondary school, your specific interests or future goals will be a good direction to think in when looking for relevant volunteer work.
