“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?”
– Martin Luther King Jr.
Volunteer at a kindergarten or drop-in care center in Dakar and provide help and support to street children known as Talibés.
Teach conversational English in the historic town of Dakar. Volunteers work in local schools, universities, or at adult evening classes, with class attendance ranging from 30-60 students.
As a volunteer, you can learn French from a qualified language teacher and practice your conversation skills daily with local people in Dakar. You can also give back to the community by getting involved in renovating and decorating classrooms in a kindergarten.
Have a positive impact on the lives of Sénégalese children in kindergartens and centers for street children. Your time will be spent running fun and educational games and activities, and renovating and decorating a local school or community center.
On this project, you will work with children aged between 8 and 16 years old in schools in and around Saint Louis. Working alongside a local coach, you will help with a range of training methods.
Volunteer in Dakar and assist a local coach with training sessions each afternoon. As a volunteer, you will help to plan coaching sessions, supervise warm ups and teach new skills.
Work as an intern alongside local doctors and nurses at a public hospital in Dakar. There are a variety of departments within the hospital in which one could work including pediatrics, maternity, and ENT.
Many medical institutions in Sénégal are understaffed and that is why help from interns is needed. You can intern as a nurse and gain experience in a variety of different departments.
Join a Sénégalese group of musicians while learning about the culture and history of Sénégal.
Take part in an intensive stand-alone language course or sign up for language tuition alongside your regular placement. You can choose from French and Wolof
