Volunteer in Sports & Community Development with African Impact
- Zambia
- Livingstone
About Program
Impact the lives of school students in the rural villages of Livingstone through sports. Educate and train the students about sports, wellness, fitness and nutrition, which will aid them in staying active and appreciate the importance of physical exercise. Physical Education is given less emphasis or even neglected in Zambia's school curriculum due to insufficient resources as well as lack of teachers and skilled sports coaches. Volunteering for the students is a rewarding experience as you see them improve themselves - mental and physical health, self-confidence - and develop teamwork and other life skills to guide them.
Get the most of your volunteer travel as you get to explore the expanse of the beauty of Livingstone, and the thrilling adventures it has to offer. You'll have the chance to experience ultimate white water rafting, bungee jumping, swimming in the "Devil's Pool", and going on river safaris.
Join African Impact for a unique volunteer experience.
