Volunteer in a Sports Project in Tanzania

Teach children and teens in Tanzania the importance of sports and inspire them to lead healthy, active lifestyles. If you’re passionate about encouraging youth sports, no matter your favorite sports, you can make an impact in local communities.

As a volunteer sports coach, you will be placed in either Arusha or Dar es Salaam. In Arusha, you will work in primary and secondary schools in USA River, a small rural community on the outskirts of town. In Dar es Salaam, you will work in primary schools or universities as well as at a community center, where you will coach children from surrounding neighborhoods. Your duties generally include helping local teachers lead physical education classes in the morning and coaching youth sports teams in the afternoon.

We welcome volunteers across a wide range of ages, from students on a gap year to professionals on meaningful travel. You don’t need previous experience in coaching to participate in this sports project, although it would be fantastic if you do. All we ask is that you have a passion for sports and the desire to help others, especially young people, develop their physical fitness.
