Volunteer with us.
Volunteers add life to our organization and continually provide fresh eyes on how we are doing things – we are fully dependent on people like you, who decide to take time out of normal life to help transform the lives of people here in Zambia.
If you are 18 years or older and want to volunteer at Grace for Families, then our short term program is for you.

Support our mission.
As a volunteer, your primary task is to help at Grace for Families and as such you are likely to have an ordinary working week. In your spare time, especially on the weekends, there are opportunities to have experiences away from work, but we do not run a tourist bureau, and those experiences will therefore also depend on the initiative from you and the people around you.
Register your interest to volunteer with the form below. If you’d like to know more about volunteering with us, get in touch here.
