Make Your Gap Year Count – Volunteer in Western Uganda

If you can play an instrument, we would love for you to come and share your skills with us! We’re looking for passionate, outgoing volunteers to work with the Living Music Foundation to help transform lives through music. Volunteers teach in communities, working with disadvantaged children and youth from low-income families. We also engage with schools, churches, and other local organizations.

Volunteers lead music lessons in their instrument of choice and group sessions focused on song and dance. We believe in the power of music to build self-esteem, confidence, and purpose—especially for vulnerable groups—while offering a safe, fun, and creative outlet.

Through this experience, you’ll gain teaching and cross-cultural skills, while also learning local traditions like cooking, weaving, and farming. This is a wholesome, grassroots journey of music, fun, and shared growth. We can’t wait to host you!
