If you love animals:
Have you considered having a career as a vet one day? Would you rather spend some
quality time with your pets than with your siblings? If your answer is “yes”, you could
be the perfect person to make a massive difference in the lives of animals.
Check out: Woodrock Animal Rescue NPO, Johannesburg.
This shelter is all about keeping animals alive and healthy, and finding them
their forever homes. If you’re older than 16, you can be a Woodrock Warrior
Volunteer. If you’re younger than 16, you can get involved in other ways. You
can volunteer with them for your school community service hours
or even donate money or items off their wish-list. You’ll find many
organisations have their own wish-list. This tells us
exactly what things they need, and helps us figure out
what to donate.

If you want to save the world:
It’s not easy hearing about the damage humans have
done to the earth, but the good news is that there
are so many ways to help.
Why not check out: Greenpop
Greenpop is all about making a “treevolution”
happen across Southern Africa. By planting trees,
you’ll also be making a social and economic
difference. Greenpop has plenty of volunteering
options on offer. You can run a Greenpop fundraiser,
attend a tree-planting event and get your hands
dirty, or you can join a team of people – just like
you – who are a part of the treevolution.
If you love numbers:
If you’re passionate about maths, you can understand
how hard it must be for kids who struggle with it.
Why not check out: OLICO
OLICO is a non-profit that has been going since
1999, and they help children in areas like Diepsloot
with maths and literacy through their online
education systems. All of their resources are free
because they understand that everyone has the
right to be educated.
