Program Details

In our rural and semi-urban communities, young people face limited access to extracurricular activities or adult mentorship. Through our youth mentorship and sports program, we provide structured, safe, and fun ways for teenagers to build confidence, learn discipline, and dream bigger.

As a volunteer, you’ll help organize sports sessions (football, netball, volleyball, etc.) and youth clubs focused on life skills, health education, or career guidance. You’ll be supported by local coaches and teachers who will help you understand the local context and engage effectively.

This is more than just sports you’ll help shape future leaders, support students in tough environments, and create unforgettable bonds through teamwork and play.
