Teach handball and support education programmes in Tanzania and Zanzibar

From grassroots development to top-level competitions, the 'Sport for all' programme is exciting, varied and offers you numerous opportunities to get involved.

Your main responsibility will be to assist in planning and implementing sports programmes for children and young people in handball, basketball, volleyball and dodgeball, depending on your sporting skills. Having knowledge of the creation and realisation of training units is helpful. You will also help organise regular tournaments with flexible schedules.

Your input on sport and educational programmes for young people will be extremely valuable to the youth leaders. Depending on your qualifications and interests, you can also help with languages and sciences lessons in a school context beyond sport.

Typical tasks:

• Coaching in your sport: You will assist with or lead your own training sessions with children and young people in schools and extracurricular activities.
• Tournaments and events: e.g. organising, setting up and dismantling, creating schedules, and providing equipment.
• Public relations, sponsorship and marketing: You help draw attention to and promote upcoming events (including on social media), as well as providing input on fundraising and sponsor activation.
• Networking: Get fans and spectators excited about the sport, get in touch with players, coaches, officials and other volunteers, and forge new relationships.

You have the flexible option of assisting with teaching at a local primary or secondary school, and helping with further education for teachers. The level of your involvement will depend on your personal skills and may include teaching English, providing conversation training, collaborating on the development of curricula and/or teaching activities, and teaching life skills.

Depending on your interests and schedule, help with the planning and realisation of coaching workshops in various sports is welcome. You may also have the opportunity to take part in sports training sessions at other locations, or to assist with the vocational training and further education of the parents of the children and young people involved in the project.
