Kenya Sports and Teaching Programme

Experience life in a village located in rural Kenya, using sports to make a real difference to the life of the children who live there. Volunteer work on this project will mainly involve coaching the sports that you are most interested in or have the most experience in.

The most popular sports include rugby cricket and football for the boys and badminton, volleyball and netball for the girls. However, this does not mean that you are not able to coach any other sports that you are interested in as the students are always really keen on learning new sports, so you can be the one to introduce them!

Your mornings will be taken up teaching classes in your school, these will be mainly English and IT lessons. If you have teaching experience, you can do even more than this if you like and get involved in teaching a larger number of areas.

Assisting coaches and running your own sports classes concentrating on things such as skill development, coordination, game preparation and training drills.
