    Description

    Structured Volunteer Placement in Trauma-Informed Child Protection (4+ Weeks)

    Rescue Mission for Street Life is a registered Ugandan organization working in trauma-informed child protection and caregiver support in Kampala.

    We are seeking committed volunteers for structured placements of at least four weeks. Volunteers contribute within defined program environments including our Approved Transition ThriveSpace, Lifeline Medical Clinic, Skilling Station, and Kitchen Garden.

    Roles are skill-based and supervised by local staff. Volunteers may assist with documentation, curriculum preparation, program coordination, health education support, vocational training organization, garden planning, and administrative systems strengthening.

    This is not a drop-in or short-term volunteering role. All engagement occurs under supervision and in alignment with safeguarding protocols. Volunteers do not replace local staff and do not assume independent caregiving responsibilities.

    We welcome university students, early-career professionals, and skilled individuals seeking structured international field experience within a locally led organization.

    Minimum commitment: 4 weeks

    Location: Kampala, Uganda

    No program fee. Volunteers cover their own travel and living expenses.

    Applicants must provide:

    • CV

    • Reference

    • Police clearance certificate

    • Screening interview
