Program Details
We are looking for volunteers to support our boxing coach in training our highly dedicated students. We hope volunteers will be able to provide feedback on performance, offer insights into how to improve skills and technique, and will motivate and inspire our students to continue working hard. Any expertise you can provide in conditioning, fitness and technique is also very welcome. We do encourage volunteers to design and run their own training sessions, if they feel comfortable doing so.
Boxing training takes place 6pm-8pm Monday to Friday. The rest of your days are yours to spend as you please, though you are of course welcome to help out with our other programmes (football, food) if you would like to.
Please be aware that we are thirty minutes outside Nairobi, and a taxi costs around $10-15 one way, or you can get the local bus for less than a dollar. One of our volunteers works for a safari company and will be happy to help you arrange a safari at a reduced price for before, during or after your stay with us :)
