Through Public Art Africa, UR4Africa develops programs that provide youths and people in local communities with hands-on experience in the areas of health, human rights and the environment.

This summer, there will be a series of workshops for students and their families around the topic of health, environment and entrepreneurship. Students will gain knowledge and experience each week on Leadership, Health, Nutrition, Entrepreneurship and the Environment. It will hold on week days from July 24 to August 25. Volunteers will be assigned to the weekly programmes based on their availability, interest, and desire to provide mentorship on weekly themes.

Volunteers must enjoy learning and understand what it means to collaborate with others. Your tasks will require you to be a role model to a group of youths who will ask you questions about yourself, your work, your opinions about life, etc. You will help facilitate conversations between students and community members. Volunteers will also have secondary tasks including helping students get on buses, making sure every participant gets lunch, and collecting supplies, amongst others.

– Be flexible
