SIC offers structured 8 and 12 week volunteer programs open to students and recent alumni of our participating schools. We may also accept applications from students at other universities.
Each program begins with an intensive, expert-led orientation. A week into orientation, volunteers move into a homestay with a host Tanzanian family. After orientation, your primary work as a volunteer will be to run an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign within your partner community. The majority of your time will be spent teaching, lesson planning, and training peer educators, and you will also be involved in community assessment work within your village. In addition to these responsibilities, we urge volunteers to take the lead on other projects related to our work.
