TEDA has a fully staffed team, however there’s room for anybody looking to volunteer their time and energy. An open mind and forward-thinking attitude will make the most of your time with us. Due to our emphasis on personal community engagement our volunteers can get as involved as they wish. This includes time spent in the community – the slums of Namuwongo – and in the office. Opportunities include helping out in almost all areas of our work such as our schools, library, holiday programme, community outreach centre, social work team, marketing or administration, amongst others.
Our goal is to create a well-rounded experience of what it’s like to work for a small organisation on the frontlines of development work. Each person has a different skill set, and because of our small size, we try and utilise every volunteer who walks through the door to their full potential. The skills you’ve acquired from other jobs, volunteer placements, life experiences, and educational achievements can all be used here in some capacity.
