ABOUT PROGRAM
The Sports Education project is designed for volunteers who have passion for sports and wish to work with children in schools, but would prefer not to spend all their time teaching in a classroom. On the Sports Education project you
will help to broaden the children’s knowledge of sports, teach foreign sports, and educate the children on general fitness, health and wellbeing.
Other Details
While football/soccer is extremely popular in Africa, many volunteers have found it rewarding to teach the children other sports from their home countries, such as baseball, lacrosse, basketball, cricket, Ping-Pong, Tae kwondo and rugby.
If you wish to teach a foreign sport, you will need to plan ahead and bring the required materials and equipment with you, as it is unlikely you will find this equipment at the local stores in Kenya.
You do not need any previous teaching experience to participate on the Sports Education project, however it is important to note that you may be required to teach other classes during their project, such as Math, English, Science
or Social Studies (Geography and History).
Please note if you apply for the Sports Education project during the school holidays (April, August, November and December), you will be placed on another project in Kenya, such as Childcare, for the duration of the holidays.
