Join MDF in shaping the next generation of climate leaders through the STREAMS model, a unique approach blending Science, Technology, Research/Robotics, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Sports/Scuba. As a volunteer, you will work directly with children and youth aged 5 to 26 years, helping them connect classroom learning with real-world environmental challenges. 

Activities include facilitating eco-education sessions, guiding eco-clubs, debates, and science fairs, and mentoring hands-on projects such as recycling, gardening, robotics, and creative arts for sustainability. You’ll also inspire outdoor exploration through sports and scuba, building curiosity for marine conservation. 

The impact is powerful: young minds gain critical thinking, innovation skills, and environmental stewardship, preparing them to lead their schools, communities, and Africa’s green future. This program is your chance to combine education, creativity, and action to empower a generation to Plant, Grow, and Protect.

Young Environmental Scientists (YES) Education Program

Join us in protecting coastlines and combating climate change through our Mangrove Restoration & Climate Action Program in Tanzania. Mangroves are powerful ecosystems - they shield communities from storms, store up to five times more carbon than other forests, and provide breeding grounds for fish and wildlife. Sadly, many mangrove areas are threatened by deforestation and pollution. As a volunteer, you will take part in hands-on mangrove planting, monitoring, and community awareness activities that directly restore degraded sites. You’ll also support environmental education workshops with schools and youth groups, helping the next generation understand the importance of climate resilience. This program is not only about planting trees; it’s about creating sustainable livelihoods, empowering local communities, and ensuring future food and water security. Whether you are passionate about conservation, education, or climate action, your contribution will make a lasting difference. Experience Tanzania’s vibrant culture while leaving a meaningful impact on people and planet.
