Description:
YCI is proud to offer our small team program option in Kenya. These eight and 10-week programs provide a unique opportunity to acquire new skills and apply your existing experience to innovative youth and community development programming.
Volunteers work in small teams of up to six participants without a group leader, but with support and direction from a local Youth Coordinator and a Program Officer. Working alongside our local partner organization, Kwacha Afrika, volunteers improve capacity and assist in the delivery and expansion of local community programming. Youth are mobilized through skills development, HIV/AIDS awareness raising, micro-enterprise and employability and gender equality training. Volunteers live with a host family located nearby YCI’s partner organization in the Mombasa area.
Volunteers may be involved in a variety of project activities with a youth focus related to life skills development. As part of a small team of volunteers in Kenya you could:
* Coordinate and work alongside local youth in the delivery of workshops on a variety of topics which could include HIV/AIDS, leadership and governance, using a computer, self-esteem and conflict resolution.
* Use “edutainment,” which is a commonly used educational technique that combines music, dance, drama and storytelling in a variety of project activities.
* Improve facilities (repairs or maintenance) and organize activities and programming ranging from arts & crafts, to sports programming for children and youth at local meeting places.
* Help facilitate activities and events with local girls’ groups, women’s groups or youth forums. These could include support groups and mentoring programs.
* Attend and participate in community outreach activities through local elementary and secondary schools as well as larger community events.
* Organize activities around International Women’s Day or World AIDS Day.
