Volunteer With Us
Do GOOD
and make a
DIFFERENCE.
KNEF inaugurated a brand new kindergarten and library in 2018 and now is opening doors for volunteers who are interested in filling organizational roles in leadership, development, problem-solving, fundraising, and teaching. We believe that early childhood learning is paramount to children's success and your position would be working with children from vulnerable backgrounds and making a direct impact on the future of their community.
In 2022, We recently also started a new venture KNEF Canada where we offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities as diverse as the work we do include roles such as refugee support, international programs, nursing, or community programmes. Become a part of improving the lives of vulnerable individuals.
Who is this for?
This is a perfect opportunity for graduates filling in a gap year, retirees, or anyone making a career change, and looking for non-profit, NGO experience. KNEF is also opening a technical training college and anyone with carpentry skills is also highly encouraged to apply.
