My Shepherd Ministry Uganda welcomes volunteers to share their time, skills and ideas while experiencing everyday life in rural Uganda. Volunteers may support education, children’s activities, farming, women and girls’ programs, community outreach and other activities according to their interests and our needs. We agree on responsibilities, schedule, accommodation and meals before arrival. We ask volunteers to respect our community, culture, safeguarding guidelines and one another. Our goal is a meaningful exchange where we learn, serve and grow together.
Volunteers can support education and children’s activities, farming and gardening, women and girls’ programs, community outreach, creative activities, and basic administrative or media support. Activities are agreed according to the volunteer’s interests, skills and our current needs. Volunteers contribute up to 20 hours per week, with shifts arranged in advance and time available to rest, explore the community and experience Ugandan culture.
Respect the community, local culture, staff and other volunteers. Follow our child-protection and safeguarding guidelines, especially when working with children. Be responsible, punctual and communicate openly with the team. Keep shared spaces clean and respect the agreed schedule. Most importantly, come with an open mind, a willingness to learn and a positive attitude.
