Who Volunteers?

Unless otherwise stipulated on a specific project, African Impact invites people of all nationalities, who are over the age of 17, to participate in our volunteer projects in Africa.

Whether you are a backpacker, gap year student, on a career break or simply want to make a difference during part of your travels through Africa, you are most welcome to assist in one of our Africa volunteer projects.

Backpackers, Gap Year, Students & Career Break and Schools

Some of the other types of travellers that you are likely to encounter during your gap year will probably fit into the following categories:

  • Gap year travellers – looking for an exciting, life-changing and meaningful travel adventure before you study further?
  • Students / Internships – are you at University and wish to gain some experience in your field of study, or about to graduate and would like to travel and be involved in projects that relate to your area of expertise.
  • Career Break / Grown-Up Gappers – do you feel that you’re stuck in a rut? Our programmes offer challenging and exciting placements where you can either use your professional skills, or go out on a limb and be involved in work that you’ve never encountered before.
  • Helping Holidaymakers – we welcome travellers that are in Africa or planning on travelling to Africa, and are inspired to make a difference in the lives of our people or wildlife whilst they’re here.
  • Backpackers / Year Out – Sometimes deciding what you want to do after school career wise can be a daunting process. Take a year out to discover yourself and your capabilities - it will help you put things into perspective and at the same time you will be making a difference.
  • Schools – African Impact are able to arrange programs for visiting schools and groups who want to make a difference in Southern Africa.

We invite you to join us on our journey to make a difference in the hearts and lives of Africa’s people, preserve its wildlife, make life long friends and experience the sights and wonders that make up this intriguing continent.
