Life-changing Experience
by: ZeeProgram: Youth Social Work Internship in Cape Town, South AfricaVolunteering in the project was beyond amazing. The community is so welcoming and really eager to make change.

Will definitely be coming back!

Social work internship
by: Mattdevens - United StatesProgram: Youth Social Work Internship in Cape Town, South AfricaThe internship has been absolutely amazing and life changing. I not only worked with lovely people, but I made some life long friends along the way as well. It was great to have been exposed to the wonderful culture of South Africa and it is something I will never forget.
