Program description: |
|
|
Projects Abroad volunteers work alongside a programme called “Extreme Circumstances” in Muizenburg, not far from where our other teaching and care placements are based. The programme aims to bring “at risk” youth groups and street children into the surf culture by providing them with equipment, and gradually teaching them to swim and then to surf.
Once introduced to this learning environment, the children are also taught vital life skills, decision making and have the opportunity to learn basic numeracy and literacy skills.
Volunteers do not need to be experienced surfers, but do need to be strong swimmers. We are looking for volunteers who are keen and enthusiastic to get involved with mentoring, teaching and all other aspects of this valuable water- sports project.
This project provides the perfect combination of coaching, learning new skills, and providing valuable support to a great community project.
