Volunteer

While, most of Africare's projects are located oversees and demand a technical program background, there are possible opportunities to volunteer in the United States. One of the most popular ways to volunteer your time is through our annual Africare Bishop Walker Dinner: the largest annual event for Africa in the United States. Every year the Africare Dinner draws more than 1,500 participants ― from international, government, corporate and academic leaders, to students and community members ― all united in their passion to help Africa. The 2010 Dinner will take place in the fall. Volunteer requests are usually made the summer prior to the event. Keep checking our Web site for details and volunteer opportunities for this great event!

Additional volunteer opportunities are created on an as-needed basis. To learn more:

• Please inquire at development@africare.org for more volunteer opportunities.
• Or visit our Jobs page.
