Passing on knowledge: a volunteer handball coach strengthens local coaches with her commitment and supports sustainable sports development in Kenya.

Handball is our tool for empowering children and young people, providing them with the opportunity to develop personally through sport and to become role models in their communities. Since 2016, we have been pursuing our vision of promoting a diverse and inclusive sporting environment through this team sport and providing the next generation with self-esteem, skills and knowledge. Our motto is: 'Play today – lead tomorrow'.

Depending on your qualifications and interests, your athletic and professional input will be extremely valuable for the sports and education programmes. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to teach children at schools in the Nairobi area and other locations in the mornings and coach handball in the afternoons. Knowledge or experience in creating and conducting training sessions would be an advantage. You will also help organise community tournaments and events.

Typical tasks:

School tasks: Depending on your qualifications, you will help with homework, language lessons or, if you are interested, tutoring.
Sports coaching: You will assist with or lead your own training sessions for children and young people during school hours, as well as supporting extracurricular sports activities in the afternoons.
Tournaments & events: You will help to plan sporting events and competitions between schools and in the community. This includes setting up and dismantling equipment, creating schedules, and organising the necessary equipment.
Public relations, sponsorship and marketing: If you have the relevant qualifications, you will help mobilise resources for the project.

Does that sound exciting? Support our partner project in Kenya by volunteering as a coach, make a sustainable impression and create unforgettable memories.

L’organisation de volontariat se présente

We unite people through sports and place volunteer coaches in social sports projects that match their personal sporting skills. Right after school, after vocational training, during your studies or as a sabbatical in your professional life.

We place you in reliable, audited sports projects at fair conditions with a minimum stay of 2 months. Because we are not just about charity, but above all about the sustainable development of social projects in disadvantaged communities. Our aim is to support community projects by providing qualified and meaningful volunteer work. Whether established initiatives or innovative ideas from local changemakers: your expertise will help to develop sport locally effectively.

We are not a click-and-travel service; our job is to find the perfect match. We consider your skills and talents as a volunteer, as well as the specific requirements of each project. We use questionnaires and online interviews to ensure that both sides benefit as much as possible.

Do you have sporting experience as a player or coach in the desired area and are you passionate about your discipline? Are you flexible and resourceful in dealing with sporting challenges? Can you work effectively both independently and as part of a team, are you organised and responsible?

We offer you projects where you can put your skills and knowledge to good use. Experience directly on site in South Africa, Kenya or Tanzania how you can support and build sustainable sports development for children and young people.
