Volunteer in The Gambia with People & Places
- Gambia
About Program
Join People & Places as a volunteer in The Gambia. Volunteers can participate in two types of projects with communities in The Gambia.
Interested in child care and education? People and Places works with a respected Gambian expert, Lisong Bah, in early childhood education. Volunteers work in her model nursery school, working alongside local people to share good practice, or help her in training programs for local teachers.
Interested in business and tourism? Volunteers with skills in these areas help to develop the skills of local people, through ITTOG, the Institute for Travel and Tourism in the Gambia. ITTOG work with small business associations such as ASSERT whose members make a living through tourism and No Woman Left Behind, a women's empowerment association focusing on catering.
Volunteer placements are available to support both these programs both in country and online. Learn more about the volunteer program with People and Places on their website!
