South Africa is a country with abundant natural resources, a first-world infrastructure and spectacular scenery. It is a country of fascinating people, rich in culture and history. At the same time it is a country where, for poor communities, daily life can be a struggle and animals and their habitats are sometimes endangered.

Many NGOs throughout South Africa are making an important contribution by helping the poor and helping to protect animals and natural resources. Without local and international volunteers, they would not be able to deliver. Working as a volunteer in South Africa you can make a real difference. Volunteer programs are available throughout the year. You can view the available volunteer opportunities. Do something different during your vacation! Have the experience of a lifetime in South Africa! Make new friends, and make a difference.

Highlights

Volunteer and Internship Programs

Participate in our volunteer and work programmes and you can discover South Africa, improve your English and gain valuable work experience. Volunteer and work experience is becoming increasingly important to employers, and experience in a foreign country will truly enhance your CV.

But most importantly, participate in these programmes because they are loads of fun and incredibly fulfilling. Many clients tell us that their experience in South Africa was the best experience of their life!

here is nothing more rewarding than helping those in need. South Africa is in many ways a first-world country. Yet in other respects it is very much a developing country. This dichotomy presents the country with some of its greatest challenges.

As a volunteer, you get to experience both sides of South Africa. Volunteers are therefore able to gain much greater insight than the usual tourist into South Africa's people, its cultures and its religions.

Internship programmes are useful if you are looking to gain international work experience (the work is unpaid). You will be placed with a Cape Town based company in the field of your choice, giving you insight into the working practices of a company in an English speaking country.
