Corporate Social Responsibility Volunteering in Africa

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Idealist.org

Recruiting Organization: Art in Tanzania

Summary

Art in Tanzania and its partners work with Tanzanian corporate and government institutions to tackle Corporate Social Responsibility issues. These topics also include actions against climate change.

Details

Corporate Social responsibility is commonly well-recognized and introduced in school curriculums and public advocacy programs in the Western world.

The Tanzanian public does not know corporate social responsibility. Issues. As a result, corporate policies commonly don't consider social responsibility issues seriously.

At the same time, Tanzania is one country where climate change strongly affects the agriculture-based economy. But, in fairness, many people do not understand climate change issues either.

This program aims to educate the schools and the public about social responsibility and deliver the message in the schools with the help of the Tanzanian business community.

We currently work with entities such as Dar es Salaam University, TWIGA Cement, Airtel, PVC, NBC Bank, and Coca-Cola, extending the program further. The field operations include working in a tree nursery and partaking in planting operations.

This program has a cross-cutting focus where students of different professions can attend and work together.

Academic-level team leaders are daily supervising your volunteering placement. In addition, we monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to secure you proceed well in your study program.

The volunteering outcome is to learn to use your studies and experience to work in developing country conditions.

Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Your program can be from 2 weeks to 12 months. The placement starting dates are flexible.

We can take volunteers in all year round as all programs are ongoing. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.

The typical morning tasks include practical fieldwork in the schools and communities, and afternoons are for planning, reporting, and social media visibility functions.
