Summary

Make a difference in Gambia as a volunteer, for example as a teacher, teaching assistant, childcare worker, healthcare worker or welfare worker.

Detailed description

That's why Gambia

Gambia offers you the unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a community, while developing yourself personally and professionally. In a position that matches your education and/or experience. For example, you can teach English, organize creative activities for children, or, completely different, you will provide essential care in local hospitals and pharmacies. Experience the culture from within and build unforgettable memories!


Education

You help children and young people by first watching with the teacher and assisting with the English lesson, and/or teaching independently, you organize creative or sporting activities and thereby contribute to their growth and development.


Care and welfare

Work with local professionals in hospitals, pharmacies and dental practices. Or support children with disabilities and learn essential skills in an international context.


This is you

You are at least 18 years old upon departure. It goes without saying that you are in excellent, healthy physical and mental condition. You are naturally patient, flexible and reliable. And of course you are interested in other cultures. Your education(s) and/or experience fits in with one of the fields. There is a registration procedure where you must be prepared to apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). We pay the costs of the Certificate of Good Conduct.


Invest in your own development

It gives you a lot

  • You participate in super interesting projects;
