Become A Volunteer
We are thrilled to give volunteers an opportunity to experience our work firsthand. One of our volunteers, Deborah Plummer, had this to say about her experience:

"Africa requires that you call on all your senses and the fullness of your human capacity to see, hear, feel, taste and smell with the deepest levels of awareness. Give a Jumpstart will entice you with many lessons that will open you to greater giving and receiving. It is very humbling and transforming and I encourage anyone able and open to this unique opportunity to seek it wholeheartedly."
