Each year volunteers from around the globe experience the life-changing power of YEI. Our volunteers are in two categories; Local Volunteers and Global Volunteers. Whatever your skills, and whatever your reasons for volunteering, you can join our team;
Local volunteers form the membership of YEI and are registered annually. They pay a small commitment fee, which provides them with access to orientation training after registering. The local volunteers own the organization and are responsible for proposing project activities, implementing programs and guiding foreign volunteers who come to Kasese.Read more
YEI volunteers from all over the world have made a tremendous impact on the lives of children and youth in Kasese District. We recruit global volunteers according to project needs and the specific skills required. Global volunteers can either choose to contribute as on-site volunteers in Kasese or as remote volunteers from their home country.Read more
Volunteers are admitted on a rolling basis and are welcome to apply at any time. As an on-site volunteer, you decide how long you would like to stay. YEI will accommodate your schedule to maximize your learning and contribution to the project during your volunteer experience.Read more
My parents were unable to meet my school fees so at 13 I dropped out of school. I then joined a group of boys in my village who introduced me to drug abuse, theft and other bad behavior. I ended up in prison and that is where I met YEI volunteers who advised inmates to change their behavior. I didn't take them seriously at first, but when I was released from prison I had second thoughts and decided to go to YEI and speak to their counselors. They suggested that I enroll as a community volunteer and I am now among the most respected positive change youth activists in my village. I also went back to school and am now the Coordinator of School Drama Groups at YEI. I can't believe it. But my message to all is that it is never too late to change!
