Teach, Serve & Transform Lives at a Secondary School

by: Volunteers Heart For Africa

Volunteers Heart For Africa welcomes international volunteers to join our education and community service program at Paris High School Uganda, a community secondary school in the Jinja area of Eastern Uganda. Volunteers can share their time, knowledge, and skills while experiencing Ugandan culture and becoming part of a welcoming local community. Paris High School Uganda was established to provide secondary education and greater opportunities for young people in surrounding communities. The school provides a supportive environment where students can learn, build confidence, develop skills, and prepare for their future. Volunteers work alongside local teachers and staff to support students and participate in school activities. Depending on their skills and interests, volunteers may assist with teaching, tutoring, sports, creative activities, agriculture, and student support.
