The Real Uganda's volunteers assist our partners with a variety of classroom activities. Because local education is largely by rote, we want volunteers to feed these hungry little brains! Volunteers create interactive learning experiences and provide children with a loving and creative environment. Volunteers choose the age and topics to teach. Lesson plans are created based on student interest and national curriculum. Arts and crafts, sport, team building, and public health are popular. The aim is to encourage team work, fun, creativity, literacy, and general knowledge. This is a challenging and rewarding program for volunteers experienced in organizing children, such as camp counselors, day care workers, and people who generally love kids. Bring your games, songs, and enthusiasm to the village! Other activities such as women empowerment and community gardening may be on offer by the host organization. Volunteers should dig in and try everything. The exchange of ideas and culture is highly valued in Uganda. School terms vary annually but generally fall within these dates: • Feb 1 to Apr 30 • May 1 to Aug 15 • Sept 15 to Nov 30

Use your communications skills to expand the reach of an organization that focuses on empowering the youth of their community by unleashing their potential through dance. Be part of a South African-based nonprofit that teaches dance to kids from underprivileged communities in townships. Their mission is to equip children with confidence and important skills through the power of dance so that they can later pursue opportunities that are scarce in their communities. In this internship, you'll join a small but dedicated team and assist with digital communications, fundraising, and overall development of their organization. As an intern, you'll contribute to fast-growing projects while developing diverse skills. Join remotely or in Cape Town, where you'll meet the team, attend dance classes, and gather field content. Tasks depend on your skills and interests, you could work on the more creative side of communications ranging from writing online content and newsletters, managing social media, and assisting with running digital fundraising campaigns; or work behind the scenes in marketing, engaging in research, proposal writing, monitoring and evaluation, and stakeholder management.

Do you have a passion for Theatre, travelling and helping young children? With VWI we offer people like you the fantastic opportunity to teach underprivileged young children living in the iconic Pink City of Jaipur. During your time on the programme you will be placed in a local school or orphanage where you’ll have the freedom to create and organise your very own programme. You will be giving training to help children for their local performance such as teaching theater, to improve focus, making the set, design them, music selection, making the masks and organize the program for children. We don’t need an expert actor, director or an artist. We just want our volunteers to offer love to children, to make them good theater actors and to help the ones that are talented but they are shy or just not able to bring it out. Volunteers in the past have put on plays, taught dance routines, made masks/puppets, and facilitated scenes from well-known scripts. You may also consider teaching the children core performance techniques (acting, singing, dancing), scenes from musicals, or how to make their own costumes.

The mission of this essential program is to care for some of the most impoverished children in the city of Pokhara. The children in this program require a lot of care, attention and most importantly, companionship.

Attention and companionship is what the children on this program crave the most. For volunteers who truly want to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children, this program serves to protect and care for those who need it most.

Volunteers taking part in short-term volunteer projects in Germany will be responsible for teaching one-to-one conversational English courses to students at the Center, as well as instructing small groups (anywhere from 2 – 5 students). Students come from a plethora of backgrounds, with ages ranging anywhere from 12 – 70 years old. However, most students will be migrants or the children of migrants, hailing from various Arab countries. Volunteers will not only serve as teachers, but also as cultural diplomats who represent their home country to the community in Halle (Saale). They play an important role in helping with communal activities meant to increase cross-cultural exchanges. In addition to teaching, volunteers will enroll in German language courses (3 hours a week). The advent of additional language courses is meant to further immerse them in local Arabic/German culture, allowing them to better communicate with their students, as well as locals in Halle. The Volunteer to Teach English and Learn German language program spans anywhere from 1 – 12 weeks, with volunteers staying with local host families during their time in Halle (Saale).

IPBio often uses cameras for wildlife research and, as a result, our biologists have developed a passion for photography and filmmaking.

Our videos have been sold to the Discovery Channel. • Best Shot Photography: These images are used for our website, computer backgrounds, or documentaries. • Wildlife Photography • OBBIO Image Bank: Over the years, we have collected and continue to collect wildlife images and videos that are organized efficiently in our Image Bank. Volunteers or interns can support the organization of this footage. • Video Production: Film, edit, and produce videos on certain topics, such as our institution or monthly news. Projects or programs are always needed to keep people updated on what is going on at the reserve. • Documentaries and Short Videos: We produce short educational videos for our YouTube channel on wildlife.

Lima, the capital of Peru, is located on the west coast of the Pacific along the Rímac River. This large, international city balances both modern and traditional influences, which evolved from Peru's history as the home of the Inca and numerous other civilized cultures dating back as far as 2000 BC. Opportunities vary from rehabilitating marine life to working with disabled or at-risk youth to creating environmental protection campaigns.

Each of our community-based organizations is unique, so visit our website to learn more about your options. Although all our programs are great, we especially recommend Lima for students who are interested in marine biology or human rights.
