Social Work, Education & Youth Development in South Africa

This youth development project was started to provide young people living on the streets with a safe daily drop-off center and to mediate between the youth, families, and schools. Today, it has expanded and caters to at-risk youth in the town of Knysna. It is the perfect project for those interested in social work, sports, art and music, teaching, and counseling. As a volunteer, you'll assist a team of loving childcare workers and social workers. This is a fantastic project for educators, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and individuals with an interest in these fields. The main goal is to assist in and support the daily program organized for the youth attending the center voluntarily. If you wish to join this project as part of a social work internship, we can arrange this. The center is set in one of the poorer areas of Knysna. Their daily program includes modules in life skills, art therapy, sports, numbers, literacy, reading, music, personal development, and other topics. It takes place during the South African school term and isn't available from 15th December to 15th January. A fun-based program is also available and revolves around soccer or talent shows.

Everything was more than I expected it to be!

December 03, 2020by: Alanna Wildman - United StatesProgram: Veterinary Medicine Skills Experience in South Africa

I cannot begin to express how incredible this opportunity was from arrival to departure. Sharon answered any and all question I had prior to pursuing this trip and welcomed me at the airport with warm open arms, making me feel at home and as comfortable as possible during my stay. More importantly, the experience I gained from this trip was invaluable. Working with an animal welfare in Knysna introduced me to the cultural differences within veterinary medicine and exposed me to the importance of client communication and animal care in an underserved community. This experience provided me with a perspective of veterinary medicine I would have never received within the US, emphasizing the importance of embodying an open-mindset within this profession. The staff I had the opportunity to work with allowed me to have as much hands-on experience as possible with examinations, diagnostics, and surgical procedures. I truly cannot recommend this experience enough! Everything about it was more than I expected it to be!

Had an amazing time

I was at Knysna veterinary clinic for a month and I had an amazing experience. I learned so much from the veterinarians working there! Sharon was so fun to see everyday, and she takes you to the best places at and around Knysna. I made lifelong friends and can't wait to be back (especially to see Sharon!)
