If you have the time and capacity, we have the need. Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to those in need whilst gaining life experience. Opportunities vary from reading with a child or assisting an educator to offering professional services, based on your specific interests or abilities.
Sparrow Schools is a full service day school. Volunteering opportunities are only available during school terms and hours.
2011 School Terms:
Term 1 = 12 January to 25 March
Term 2 = 11 April to 24 June
Term 3 = 18 July to 30 September
Term 4 = 10 October to 9 December
School Hours: 08:00 – 13:30
For international volunteers:
We value international volunteers, who want to visit South Africa whilst contributing to this society. It is an opportunity to interact with people from different cultures, whilst using your skills and talents.
We look for gap year students who are willing to work as educators’ assistants as well as qualified and experienced professionals including Teachers, Therapists, Sports enthusiasts, Artisans, Artists, and Musicians. Outside of school terms volunteers are free to travel South Africa.
We expect volunteers to cover the costs of their air travel and their stay with us. For this reason, Sparrow requires you to raise enough money to purchase your air tickets to and from Johannesburg, South Africa, and cover your monthly costs of food, commuting, accommodation and all luxury items/outings/holidays/ insurance etc. In return you will be given accommodation and have an awesome experience.
In the best interest of our learners, we do require volunteers to apply, go through a screening process and work under supervision.
