Start Date: UK-based training and preparation begins in June, with travel to Kenya for final pre-summer preparation in late June.
Compensation: Non-salaried placement.
About EPAfrica
Education Partnerships Africa (EPAfrica) is a volunteer-led organisation with a mission to improve secondary education in East Africa and create opportunities for young people. EPAfrica partners directly with schools to support their self-driven growth through establishing a strong resource base and implementing holistic development programs. The organisation is dedicated to making a sustainable impact by investing in both infrastructure and the long-term capabilities of partner schools.
Role Description
This is a volunteer placement opportunity involving hybrid training in the UK and then 10 weeks in Western Kenya over the summer of 2026. We're mainly considering applications from UK-based university students and recent graduates, however we are happy to hear from anyone who believes they can make meaningful impact and contributions. This includes apprentices, early careers or even those in the later part of their career.
Who we are looking for
- Self-motivation and ability to work in a team with key stakeholders
- A passion for education development or sustainable non-profit work
- An interest in working in an international context, learning through cross-cultural communication
What you'll do
Project Associates are not teachers or builders. Working with an EPAfrica partner school in teams of two or three, Project Associates will have autonomy to collaborate with key stakeholders to tailor, facilitate and project manage EPAfrica's investments. Project Associates will be responsible for ensuring investments suit individual school needs and yield sustainable results beyond the duration of our direct collaboration.
Programmes begin with Project Associates engaging all school stakeholders to identify the best available options for long-term improvement of students’ career opportunities, welfare and health.
Project Associates then co-ordinate the delivery of identified opportunities, in continued partnership with school management. Investments come in the form of cash in educational resources and time in development of initiatives.
Why join us?
Project Associates benefit from an outstanding opportunity to experience grassroots development whilst building essential skills.
In the UK, Project Associates engage in fundraising and training that considers how evidence-informed investment can effect change. In East Africa, they co-manage a time-limited project (including its budget), work in a different cultural context and collaborate with multiple stakeholders.
Employers such as the FCDO, Deloitte and the WHO have regularly been impressed by the autonomy and critical thinking Project Associates have demonstrated through their projects.
We are proud to be entirely volunteer-run and so Project Associates can build on their experience by continuing to volunteer with the charity after their summer in Kenya.
The Commitment
The Project Associate placement runs for a total of ten weeks in Kenya, between late June and early September. There is an orientation week, eight weeks working directly with your school, and a midway break week.
With comprehensive support and training; you'll fundraise £900 (all of which goes towards your investments in the school you work with) plus ~£1,600 for essential personal expenses (flights, in-country expenses, health insurance etc.).
We're excited to hear from you! To learn more, you can message us on LinkedIn or Instagram, apply through the link on our website.
You’re welcome to apply with a friend and complete your summer placement together, just let us know in your application which close on 9th January.

Are you an enthusiastic volunteer looking for a new role where you'll be able to use your organisation and people skills to really make a difference? Are you passionate about helping others? Could you be part of someone’s journey towards learning to read?
Read Easy Sheffield is a successful local charity that provides free, confidential, one to-one reading coaching for adults who struggle with reading, affiliated to national charity Read Easy UK. We are currently looking to expand our work and for this we need some more volunteers to join our friendly team, and we excited to be seeking another Coordinator.
This voluntary position would be fantastic for someone who has good organisational and problem-solving skills, as well as great people skills and a friendly, caring nature. If you are the type of person who enjoys solving puzzles and helping others, this could be the perfect role for you!
Being a Coordinator is a vital and interesting role within the Read Easy Sheffield Team. Alongside the other Coordinators (currently three), you will meet adults who want to learn to read and interview volunteer Reading Coaches. You will then pair them up and offer support when needed (alongside our Literacy Specialist), checking in with both your Readers and your Coaches that all is going well. You will play an instrumental part in making sure our group continues to thrive!
You don’t need previous experience, and you don’t need to have volunteered as a Reading Coach first – you will receive training and support from Read Easy UK to develop your skills, and you will work alongside an enthusiastic and supportive team who will show you the ropes.
The role is flexible and can be mostly done from home, however you will need to make occasional visits to see reading pairs in person in their venues across the city, and come to in person meetings.
You can choose your own hours and how many reading pairs you’d like to support – you might expect to spend 3 to 5 hours a week on this. However, most of the coaching happens during the daytime so you will need some daytime availability. To get the most from the role, we expect all Coordinators to support Read Easy Sheffield for at least one year.
What's in it for you?
· A rewarding role that has a positive impact on people's lives – there is no better feeling than seeing the readers graduate from the course!
· Opportunity to meet new people and work collaboratively to keep the ship sailing
· Developing your skills in coordinating projects, or making good use of existing ones!
· Regular contact with the team, including social events and other face-to-face opportunities
· Support from a dedicated team leader, as well as comprehensive training in the role
The skills you will need:
· A passion for supporting others to achieve their goals
· Good communication and people skills, as well as being organised!
· Reasonable confidence in using IT (accessing documents, completing electronic forms and records, email, Teams/Zoom meetings)
· The ability to use initiative and willingness to work independently, as well as part of a team
· A non-judgemental attitude and respect for others, with a commitment to equality and diversity, so that you can make everyone feel valued and included
· Energy and enthusiasm to commit to the role for at least a year
· A willingness to abide by Read Easy policies and procedures.
Please be aware that the reading coaching takes place in venues across the city, mainly in libraries and community centres. Bearing in mind that the role will involve occasional visits to pairs to offer support with their sessions when needed, you will need to be Sheffield-based and ideally able to drive or travel around the city.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
