Volunteer in South Africa & Namibia!

The volunteer programmes offered by YFU South Africa are an opportunity for young people from anywhere in the world, aged 18 or older, to explore South Africa and/or Namibia as a volunteer. We work with a number of local non-profit and community organizations who offer the following volunteer placement options:

  • Option 1: Working which children in a daycare or after-school programme in Cape Town, South Africa, while living with a local host family. Duration: 3-6 months.
  • Option 2: Working in a seabird and penguin rescue and rehabilitation centre in Cape Town, South Africa, with accommodation in a nearby volunteer guesthouse. Duration: 3-6 months.
  • Option 3: Working in an after-school childcare and community centre in a small town in Namibia, while living with a local host family. Duration: 3-6 months.
  • Option 4: Working and living on a farm in a rural area of Namibia, specializing either in agriculture, hunting or hospitality/tourism. Duration: 3-6 months.

Combination option: Volunteers who would like to do a programme with a longer duration can choose to combine two or more options (subject to availability). Shorter programmes can also be arranged on an individual basis.

Our volunteer programmes are open to high school graduates, university students and young professionals who want to expand their horizon, discover a new country and culture, and gain practical experience in a meaningful way within the support structure of the YFU programme.
