Volunteer With Us

Volunteers play a very important role at So They Can, bringing wonderful skills and energy to our organisation making a difference to the lives of many.

We have volunteer opportunities all around the world including in our Global Support Office in Sydney, as part of our team in New Zealand and at our projects in Kenya and Tanzania.

Out of Africa, our volunteers contribute in many different ways including helping with our fundraising events, sponsorship program, our online bibi&me shop, office administration, database support, website management, just to name a few.

If you are interested in volunteering in Africa at our projects in Kenya why not join our STINT (Short Time In Nakuru Trip)?

Nakuru is about 4 hours drive from Nairobi and is the town where we began our work in 2009. It is home to Aberdare Ranges Primary School, our first project, that is now the hub of the community, educating 1080 children.

We are very grateful for all our amazing volunteers and fundraisers. Hear from some of our volunteers on their experience, giving back to the communities we work with.

“I have been volunteering in So They Can’s Sydney office for the past two years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It has given me a better understanding of the organisation, how it operates and where my sponsorship dollars go.

Working one day a week with this dedicated and passionate group of people has been very rewarding and motivating and if you’ve ever thought of volunteering for a worthwhile charity, then I can definitely recommend giving your time to So They Can. What they’ve achieved and continue to achieve is inspiring and life changing.”

- Michele Southon, So They Can Global Support Office Volunteer

“It was incredible to hear the children’s sheer joy and gratitude, not often you hear children talk about school like that. They all want to be doctors, pilots and engineers and it was heartwarming to experience first-hand this feeling of optimism, hope and ambition.

Some of the younger children created and sang this amazing song 'We're no longer the same'. Neither are we after meeting them. You really do get back more than you give.”

- Mark Cimarosti ‘Life Exchange Trip’ 2018
