Become A Volunteer

   We are thrilled to give volunteers an opportunity to experience our work firsthand. One of our volunteers, Deborah Plummer, had this to say about her experience:

This volunteer opportunity is an extraordinary chance to experience a region of the world, with its people and its culture, in a deep and profound way. Africa requires that you call on all your senses and the fullness of your human capacity to see, hear, feel, taste and smell with the deepest levels of awareness. Give a Jumpstart will entice you with many lessons that will open you to greater giving and receiving. It is very humbling and transforming and I encourage anyone able and open to this unique opportunity to seek it wholeheartedly.
