Volunteers Needed for Our Partnership Project in Pakistan

Our partnership project in Pakistan is in need of volunteers. The political instability in Pakistan has made it harder to recruit volunteers for the project site. Yet, they would certainly appreciate any help.

The partnership project is a youth organization providing educational programmes for the local youth, with the vision of empowering the youth to seek employment in the future and to develop into fulfilled individuals. Volunteers can get involved in organizing educational activities for the youth, teaching, administrative tasks, fundraising, or any other useful activity that they and the host organization can think of.  

The project is located in Murree, in the Punjab region, not far from Islamabad. The area itself is safe and has not had any security threats for a very long time. Historically, the area has suffered from high youth unemployment, which is the reason for the project to have been initiated.

Volunteers do not need to pay towards any placement fees. They will lodge with a host family and also be treated to a couple of nights in a hotel by the host organization. All they need to pay for is their flight and insurance costs. During their stay in Murree, volunteers will also have a chance to visit other branches of the organization. All of such trips and airport pick up will take place in secure cars provided by the host organization. The organization welcomes volunteers at any time of the year, for any length of stay.
