Job Description

The project combines rewarding volunteer work in a rural community with the chance to experience remote South Africa - perfect for a summer holiday or a starting point for further travels on your year out. 

The 5 week Venture gets under way at Johannesburg Airport, where you will be met by our AV representative and helped with your transfer to an internal flight to Bloemfontein. Your destination is Philippolis, a two hour drive due south of Bloemfontein.  

Over the next two days, you will have a lot of fun as you learn about South Africa, the local culture and environment, and the do's and don'ts about living in the bush. Then you will immerse yourself in community life for nearly five weeks of volunteering. 
You will dig, build, paint and play - even teach for those that are interested – really, anything that is going on, you will be involved with!   

Our volunteer projects are a great way to improve your skills and enhance your CV - stand out from the crowd at job interviews! It is a competitive market out there - help others to help yourself!
