SPAN is excited to announce that we are now actively accepting applications for our 2009 volunteer season. We continue to be dedicated to supporting grassroots development efforts while providing affordable, enriching volunteer experiences. Our partner organizations are looking forward to another year of mutually beneficial partnerships and projects, made possible by hardworking, creative, and multi-talented SPAN volunteers!

The bulk of our placement opportunities continue to be in Kenya, but new this year we are also offering a special placement in Zambia. Visit our Partners page to view the organizations actively seeking volunteers, and if you would like further information on any organization do not hesitate to contact us. You can learn more about the application process here. While SPAN has a rolling application policy, many of our placements simply cannot take more than a few volunteers at a time. During summer months it is especially important to apply early. We also encourage any potential volunteers to join our social network page, where you can connect with SPAN staff, past SPAN volunteers and others like yourself.

Again, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at info at spanafrica.org. We are looking forward to working with you, and another great year!

Sincerely,

Rebecca Mitchell
SPAN Founder/Executive Director
