The volunteer will join our team in creating fun, safe, and inclusive learning and recreational experiences for children and young people. Activities will be based on the volunteer's interests and skills and may include art, music, dance, drama, storytelling, sports, games, reading, or creative workshops.
The program is designed as a cultural and skills exchange. Volunteers are encouraged to share their talents while learning from the experiences, creativity, and resilience of the community.
Activities may include preparing and facilitating creative sessions, supporting games and recreational activities, reading or storytelling sessions, sports and team-building activities, and helping young people explore new creative skills.
Volunteers will work alongside USEC staff and community facilitators. The schedule will be agreed upon based on program activities and the volunteer's availability. We encourage volunteers to bring their own ideas and talents and adapt activities to the interests of the young people.
The safety, dignity, and wellbeing of children and young people are our priority.
Volunteers are expected to:
• Treat all children, young people, staff, and community members with respect and without discrimination.
• Follow USEC safeguarding and child protection guidelines.
• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries with children and young people.
• Not engage in unsupervised one-to-one activities with children.
• Respect privacy and obtain approval before taking or sharing photographs or videos.
• Maintain confidentiality regarding personal information shared by community members.
• Communicate openly with USEC staff and follow agreed activity plans.
• Respect local culture, community values, and the dignity of participants.
