Description: We've partnered with a number of local schools, universities, and non-profit organizations who focus on education, social work, and youth development. Opportunities range from teaching and mentoring students to assisting with the overall operations of education, social work, and youth development programs.

Highlights: Cape Town is rated as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and for good reason: few cities are home to white sandy beaches, scenic hiking trails, spectacular ocean views, and a 1,086 metre tall mountain!

Cape Town is also a city of sharp contrasts, where you can explore issues of social change and diversity and learn about new cultures.

Connect-123's volunteers, who primarily work with disadvantaged youth, make a lasting, tangible impact on local communities.

Qualifications: Volunteer opportunities are available for current university students as well as for graduates.
