About Program
The Project Development Volunteer will be assigned to assist a specific children’s center in Arusha, Tanzania. While onsite, they will be supervised by the center director or another appointed staff member. They will report to Selfless Solutions’ Volunteer Program Manager who will meet with them regularly. In addition to helping the volunteer address any issues that might arise during their time of service, the Program Manager is also charged with guiding the work of the volunteer and collaborating with them to accomplish their objectives. These objectives can be assigned by either the center staff or Program Manager, but they also often arise from the daily interaction and exchange of ideas between the volunteer and the center/Selfless Solutions staff. Although the volunteer will be given direction, they are expected to be self-motivated, creative, and proactive. Through dialogue, they should seek to collaboratively identify what needs to be done to further the goals of the project an
