Agriculture and Women's Empowerment

Volunteers joining our agriculture and women empowerment project in Cameroon will have the opportunity to work with hard working women in the treatment of palm nuts, cooking, grinding, oil extraction, bottling, and selling products as a method of income-generation for the women.

Environment Conservation

Environmental volunteer programs in Cameroon deal primarily with reforestation and attempts to slow desertification in region. Volunteers help primarily by cleaning up sites to be reforested, picketing, planting seedlings and maintaining reforested sites. In addition, volunteers help with gardening, rabbit breeding, and compost production.

Education and Teaching

Volunteer teachers are needed at every level in Cameroon. Participants can help with little children, up to high schools. Volunteers assist staff in their daily work, teach English, and organize various educative and re-creative workshops. The need in primary schools is the highest.

Healthcare and Medical

In all the hosting communities, we have partnerships with hospitals and clinics where medical students and health workers can work for 2 weeks or more. Volunteers are supervised by a doctor and will assist in daily consultations of patients and treatments. Volunteers can observe in the fields of general medicine, surgery, gynecology, maternity, laboratory, physical therapy, ophthalmology, pediatrics, and emergency. Volunteers are asked to come with medical equipment, a white uniform, and a PEP kit.

Internships in Cameroon

Cameroon is a great place to pursue an internship whether you are just starting your career or to broaden your experience. Successful interns have the ability to be flexible, maintain a sense of humor in frustrating situations, and a deep interest in learning firsthand about the vibrant cultures of Cameroon.

Medical Electives

Go Volunteer Africa works with hospitals and clinics in Cameroon to provide medical internship programs designed for pre-medical students. Interns will have the opportunity to learn about the day to day practice of medicine in Cameroon by shadowing doctors and nurses.

This is a unique opportunity to learn about the challenges the Cameroon healthcare system is facing first hand. Interns will also learn about the treatment of diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. Participants with this program will have no medical responsibilities, but depending on qualifications, may be asked to assist with tasks around the hospital or clinic. Interns with this program are encouraged to get involved with health education and outreach programs as a way to give back to the community.

Community Development

In Cameroon, our partner organization are working to promote economic development in small towns and rural areas. These organizations focus on a variety of issues ranging from infrastructure development and improvement to capacity building and adult education. Interns with this program will assist with ongoing projects and may possibly be able to implement new projects or new approaches to projects.
