Not only can you support us through donations, but you can offer your time through the volunteer program. Volunteering work is open to both national and international community. Here at UYISENGA NI IMANZI, we see the importance in community outreach for youth and children in need. UNM staff members work very hard to provide a multitude of services to the vulnerable they support, yet there is always a need for more hands on this in-depth job. We encourage you to volunteer with us to expand your field experience and make an important impact to the community. Volunteers will grow from this exchange opportunity by learning about Rwandan culture and coming to understand the organization by observing and participating in the work of UNM’s 5 departments or programs:
- Education, Life Skills and Child protection
- Economic Empowerment
- Advocacy, Communications and Partnership
- Administration and Finances
- Mental health and Psychosocial support
Some Examples of Current Volunteer’s Work:
UNM usually has national and international volunteers working in many capacities, such as community development through farming and non farming activities, Psycho-Social volunteers (APS) in schools and community and child protection volunteers mainly working with street connected children and families . these volunteers working together to support Organization achieve its goals of creating different opportunities to build self-reliance and resilience over life challenges.
UNM also has a history of volunteer partnership with Global Youth Connect (GYC) for their Human Rights Delegation. The GYC participants helped the organization to begin a website development internship for North American and Rwandan participants. Two interns volunteered to create this website and to advocate and fundraise for the organization through social media.
