Camp Joshua hopes to initiate and develop cultural exchange between Tanzania and overseas countries by developing opportunities between the organization and volunteers from abroad. Because they do not have sufficient teachers to teach the children volunteers are necessary to support the existing staff. As well, they do not staff enough manpower on the non teaching staff to wash the children, cook, play with, and simply keep the children busy and happy.
Any experience with children and teaching is an asset. As well an active individual is needed to play and organize sports with the children during breaks and after school.

We believe everyone can contribute by volunteering. Recent graduates from high school, college or university, professionals taking a career break, recent retirees, individuals or groups who are interested in a change and the chance to enrich their own life and the lives of others. If you are 18 years or older you can apply for any of the placements available. If you are from 16-18 years old you may apply for placements near our Volunteer Abroad Office and Residence, so that we are able to give you more support. Both students and professionals are needed for placements in all our countries.

We believe international volunteering promotes cross-cultural learning that helps create global awareness, understanding between cultures and provides the platform for positive change. Our volunteers have taught in schools, provided disaster relief support for the International Red Cross, conducted essential research to improve the management strategies of threatened environments, built homes for impoverished people, provided vocational training and programs for street kids and have worked in co-operation with hundreds of local organizations to distribute aid and improve the quality of life for people throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America.
