Volunteers

Africa Heartwood Project is an all-volunteer organization that relies exclusively on donated funds and services from the public to accomplish our work in Africa. Volunteers each provide services unique to their situations, desires, and skills, and pay their own way. As such, the strength of our organization is the people who generously give of their time, talents, and energy in planning, financing, and implementing specific projects or events. Thank you for your interest; we need your help to accomplish more good!

Please complete our detailed Volunteer Inquiry Form to provide information which will allow us to work with you to create a giving experience that will effectively serve the beneficiary, and meet your needs as a volunteer. Thank you!

(NB: We do not have any "jobs" offering compensation; if you are seeking employement in the non-profit sector we can only offer you valuable experience as a volunteer.)
