Make this summer your best one ever – experience Africa, do something meaningful and make it count! Hope Foundation organizes a number of projects annually in Cameroon that welcome international volunteers from all over the world. While we need volunteers all year round, our short-term summer programs last between one and four weeks and are the perfect opportunity for you to make the most of your summer break.

Over the last eight years, 233 volunteers have visited Africa to help support our programs. Without their tremendous contribution, skills, ideas and boundless energy, the implementation of our projects would be simply not possible. Cameroonians benefit greatly from the vast range of contributions made, and likewise our volunteers gain an invaluable understanding of a different culture and lifestyle. Moreover, working and living together with other young people from around the world provides an excellent and fun opportunity for you to forge new friendships, gain insights into a fascinating country, and to acquire new skills and experiences.

As the work is on a purely voluntary basis, no specific skills, experience or knowledge are needed. The activities carried out are always aligned with each participant’s physical and mental capabilities. Technical leaders are always on hand at each project to lead the work process and continuously monitor the situation to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our volunteers.

Volunteers are at liberty to indicate which projects they are interested in and for what duration of time. We are happy to accommodate any special requirements with regard to dates and types of programs. To see a full list of all summer and ongoing programs, please click here.
