Our volunteer program provides an opportunity for travelers to support children and young people in our local community through education, mentorship, faith-based activities, and community engagement. Volunteers will work alongside our staff to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where children can learn, develop their talents, build confidence, and grow in good values.
Volunteers may assist with basic academic support such as English, reading, writing, mathematics, homework, and educational activities. They may also participate in Christian activities such as prayer, Bible study, worship, Bible stories, songs, and discussions about positive values and character development. Volunteers are encouraged to share their knowledge, skills, culture, and experiences while respecting our local community, staff, children, and existing routines.
The program is flexible and activities will be organized according to the volunteer’s skills, experience, and interests. Volunteers do not need to be professional teachers or religious leaders; patience, responsibility, respect, and a genuine interest in working with children are the most important qualities.
Typical volunteer activities may include:
* Helping children with reading, writing, English, and mathematics.
* Supporting children with homework and school assignments.
* Organizing educational games and creative learning activities.
* Helping children develop confidence, communication, and teamwork skills.
* Participating in Bible study, prayer, worship, and Christian teaching.
* Sharing Bible stories, songs, and lessons about kindness, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
* Supporting music, dance, drama, sports, and recreational activities when appropriate.
* Spending time with the children through mentoring, conversation, and positive encouragement.
* Assisting staff with preparation and organization of children’s activities.
* Participating in community activities when available.
Example daily schedule:
Morning: Education and learning activities
Midday: Lunch and personal/free time
Afternoon: Educational support, games, sports, music, dance, or creative activities
Evening: Prayer, Bible study, worship, or other faith-based activities when scheduled
Schedules may change depending on school programs, community activities, special events, and the needs of the children.
Treat all children, staff, volunteers, and community members with respect and kindness.
* Volunteers must always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children.
* Follow the instructions and guidance of the local staff and program coordinators.
* Be punctual, responsible, and committed to agreed volunteer activities.
* Respect Ugandan culture, traditions, community values, and the beliefs of others.
* Maintain appropriate boundaries and professional behavior when interacting with children.
* Do not use physical punishment, harsh language, or any form of inappropriate behavior toward children.
* Do not take or share photographs or videos of children without permission from the program coordinator.
* Keep children’s personal information and stories private and confidential.
* Volunteers participating in religious activities should do so respectfully and without pressuring anyone to adopt their beliefs.
* Inform the coordinator in advance if you are unable to attend an agreed activity or shift.
* Keep shared accommodation and community areas clean and respectful.
We want every volunteer to have a meaningful experience while ensuring that our children remain safe, respected, supported, and encouraged throughout the program.
