Shining Future Zambia is a wonderful organization to grow your talents and to make a differnce within your community!  SFZ is always seeking people who are passionate about helping women and children find a brighter future and are commited to the work we do.  We especially encourage those with education and qualifications that are needed to apply!  Please look at our current projects and see if your values and skills align with the work we do.

All team mebers are currently unpaid volunteers.  We hope to have funding to pay our team in the future, and volunteers will be considered first for paid positions.

Shining Future Zambia is a wonderful place to spend your vacation!  We provide many opportunities for you to use your talents and energy toward making a real difference in the lives of those we serve.  You can volunteer as little as one week or as long as 4 weeks.  Longer stays can be arranged after you complete 4 weeks and receive an offer to stay for up to a year.  Prices for programs range from $400 for one week to $1,000 for 4 weeks. There will be an application fee of $100 that will cover the cost of sending an invitation letter and conducting a background check.

All volunteers will be placed with Zambiam homes that we have carefully vetted to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.  We will provide transportation if the location is further than walking distance from your place of work.  All tourist activities can be accomidated by discussing your plans with the coordinator, and our staff will help you make arangements and help you in case of an emergency.

All volunteers will be required to get the appropriate visas and travel insurance.  We will provide an invitation letter and other necessary paperwork for you to get the appropriate visa.  Our staff will also help make sure that you get the necessary stamp on a monthly basis so that you stay within compliance regulations.

Food will be provided by your homestay family and SFZ staff, but you will have opportunities to eat out at restraunts and go shopping at the mall and local markets if you prefer to eat western food.
