Volunteers
wishing to get involved in one of our Community Development Initiatives (CDI)
will work as part of a team dedicated to a particular project pertaining to one
of our main program areas: Education, Women Empowerment, Youth Development, and
Environmental Conservation. These volunteers have the chance to interact
directly with the community by preparing and coordinating workshops and
activities with local counterpart organizations, community groups, government
agencies, and NGOs whose goals are closely related to those of BoHU. They are
also actively involved in the execution of educational training workshops and
project monitoring and evaluation. BoHU’s Community Development Initiatives
provide volunteers the unique opportunity to continuously improve program
parameters and best practices. Our programs are constantly enriched by the
participation and insight of volunteers with a wide range of experience and
educational backgrounds.

One
of the advantages of the Community project is that you are not limited to one
job role and will have the opportunity to ‘sample’ other roles during your
placement. To become involved in another projects simply inform a member of
staff who will happily make any necessary arrangements.
