National volunteering
The national volunteering goal is to enable Kenyan citizens to achieve their right to participate in the local and national development, thereby improving their quality of life. The programme works with partner organisations to strengthen volunteer management capacity and also engages with government, civil society and the private sector to strengthen volunteerism in Kenya. Other areas that are included in the programme include:
Employee volunteering: VSO Jitolee supports corporates in Kenya and Uganda to develop employee volunteering policies as well as short term and long term volunteer work placements for their employees.
Global Xchange: These programmes are team-based exchanges for young people aged 18-25. Volunteers are paired with someone from the UK, and work within a team of eight other pairs for three months in each country. As well as participating in community development projects participants live with a local family in each country, enhancing cultural awareness and understanding.Volunteer with us
Global education/development awareness: Activities, primarily undertaken by returned volunteers, to raise the awareness of others in their home community of issues connected with international development and life in other countries, including north-south community and school linking.
