PROGRAM LENGTHS AND ROLES
Yebhe Chikomesye volunteer programs are hands-on learning experiences that vary in length. We encourage volunteers to stay for at least three weeks, but volunteers are welcome to sign up for any length of time. Long-term stays of over six months are welcome and negotiable. Many volunteers combine their stay with time spent doing more traditional tourist activities elsewhere in Tanzania - such as safaris, climbing and beach holidays. No matter how long you decide to volunteer, you will have a remarkable experience and will gain a firsthand understanding of how Tanzanians live their daily lives.
There are many ways in which our volunteers choose to spend their time and contribute towards Yebhe Chikomesye. Most volunteers spend a proportion of their time with planning activities, outings and projects.Whilst specific job roles and activities are flexible, according to your talents and preferences and Yebhe Chikomesye needs), volunteers often adopt one of the following job roles during their stay with us.
In practice, each volunteer brings their own skills, interests and experience, and can offer their own personal contribution and fresh ideas. It is ultimately up to the volunteer to decide what they would like to do for Yebhe Chikomesye and most end up having multiple roles and projects. Volunteers are welcome at any time of our projects.
WHAT ELSE CAN VOLUNTEER DO?
Most of your volunteer work will be conducted during the day, Monday through Friday, and volunteers are encouraged to explore Tanzania and its nightlife during the evening and weekends.
Musoma is another starting point for visiting many of Tanzania's national parks and volunteers can easily arrange safaris to famous parks such as the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater as well as many others.
Musoma also has reasonably-priced air links to most destinations in Tanzania, including Zanzibar. You may also want to visit the Julius Nyerere (Tanzania’s first president) Museum on the outskirts of Musoma town where you can observe local dances and customs, or participate in Cultural Tourism programs that provide a unique look at village life. Mwanza is located a few hours by bus or flight from Musoma. Located on the shores of Lake Victoria, Mwanza is the second largest city in Tanzania.
