Project Description
Sports Program
Sports Education, done differently!
Join us to volunteer by teaching children new sports and making it fun for them and yourself at the same time. Regular exercise provides children with many mental and physical benefits while teaching vital life skills such as teamwork and communication.
Our Sports Programs are located in different areas of Kenya, where you could live with a host family or in a volunteer house while immersing yourself in Kenyan culture and way of life. You might even want to bring your ice skates!
Who can join
- ✓Be athletic and in good physical shape to keep up daily exercise with the children
- ✓Prepared to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 4 weeks
- ✓Prepared to build and create a training schedule for the children
- ✓Self-motivated, goal-oriented, with coaching experience preferred but not required
Our goal
Our goal for sports education is to help children get daily exercise. Many children, including those with special needs, are reluctant to be active without structured support.
By having you there to guide and encourage them, we fill a critical gap in their daily routine, keeping them healthy, active, and educated about athletics.
Sport is a fantastic way to build physical skills and coordination while giving children an unforgettable, joyful experience!
