Gala volunteers are needed to help with Global Camps Africa's annual event One Night for Sizanani, taking place at the Ronald Reagan Building on April 27th. Volunteers will help us finish setting up auction items and decor and will then get trained on their positions for the rest of the evening. Volunteers will help with registration, raffle sales, auction monitoring and checkout. Volunteers will have a chance to eat during the event.

Volunteers can work 3-8, (which is set-up/decorating for the first 2 hours and helping with the event the last 2hrs) or 4-10, or the entire shift. Please specify which shift you'd like to work in your reply.

Mission Statement

Global Camps Africa changes the lives of South Africa's vulnerable children and youth by providing HIV/AIDS prevention education and training through a high-impact residential camp experience and continuing education, equipping young people with the life skills that will support them in becoming safe and productive adults who have hope for the future.

Description

Global Camps Africa’s Camp Sizanani holds three 8-day sessions a year, for at least 420 HIV affected campers annually, on a rented site an hour from Johannesburg.
