Does SAEP accept both long and short term volunteers

  • SAEP seeks volunteers who are able to make a minimum 6 month commitment. We find that the ideal timespan for volunteerism is one year, as this allows the volunteer to make a significant contribution to SAEP's projects, but we acknowledge that such a commitment is not always possible. Under special circumstances, we will take volunteers for 2-3 month periods. 
  • We will consider taking on short term volunteer groups from time to time. The shorter time you volunteer, the more practical your tasks will be (maintenance projects at various sites, gardening, etc.). However, if you are most interested in working and building relationships with students and organizations, we recommend volunteering for at least 6 months.

The impact that SAEP has on the lives of so many people is a true testament to the people that work there - a welcoming and inspiring group of people that I now gladly call friends and I miss dearly.

I cannot recommend enough to anyone looking to contribute to individuals less fortunate than themselves that supporting SAEP is the right path.
