A Tanzanian Adventure in Service!

Volunteer in Tanzania! Engage in community projects with youth, adults, teachers, health care professionals and community leaders – a wide swath of Tanzanian society. Volunteering in Africa gives you a broad perspective on the resiliency of the human spirit. Through daily assignments, cultural activities and time for personal adventures, you’ll learn about Tanzania and remain forever invested.

Give. Explore. Care. Make Friends. Be a Global Volunteer.

Every day is a new adventure in service working under the direction of our community partners. Help children reach their full potential through preschool instruction and care, primary school tutoring, secondary school mentoring, programs for pregnant women and children, and by helping to repair and improve community buildings – while experiencing all the color, music, art and flavor of Tanzanian culture. Travel with us – a long-standing non-profit leader in worldwide volunteering.

And, consider this: Your program contribution ($1,995 – $2,195) and travel costs are tax-deductible! One to three week itineraries, including lodging, food, local transportation, project materials and a trained team leader are available year-round. There’s no other experience like this to truly make a significant difference in the world!
