Volunteer Programs in Southern Africa

A variety of different volunteer opportunities in South African countries is offered through Good Hope Volunteers. Southern Africa is a region with abundant natural resources, spectacular scenery, and fascinating people, rich in culture and history.

At the same time, it is a region where daily life can be a struggle in poorer communities, and animals and their habitats are sometimes endangered. Many local non-governmental organizations are making an important contribution by helping the these communities and helping to protect animals and natural resources. Without the help of local and international volunteers, however, these organizations would struggle to deliver.
