CECOSDA's volunteering program
In a constantly evolving world, citizen engagement and volunteering play a crucial role in building an inclusive and dynamic society. Aware of the challenges related to the empowerment of youth and women, CECOSDA (Centre for Communication and Sustainable Development for All) has established a volunteer program. This program provides enriching and formative opportunities for both graduated and non-graduated youth, allowing them to actively contribute to the development of their community while acquiring valuable skills.
Objectives of the Program
- 1. Promote empowerment : Provide young people and women with spaces and resources to develop their personal and professional skills.
- 2. Encouraging community involvement : Raising awareness and mobilizing youth and women around local social and environmental issues.
- 3. Create synergies : Encourage interactions among volunteers, beneficiaries, and civil society actors for maximum impact.
- 4. Facilitate access to professional experiences : Allow participants to gain practical skills and enhance their credentials in the job market.
Target Audience
Our volunteer program primarily targets young and female, including recent graduates and non-graduates eager to gain their first professional experience. Participants should be motivated by personal projects and can leverage their skills in various areas such as music, solidarity, public speaking, and other creative activities. We promote inclusivity by reserving spots for individuals with disabilities and providing opportunities for women looking to restart their careers after maternity leave. With a limited capacity of 20 volunteers, the program ensures high-quality support and enriching interactions, aiming to create a dynamic community where each volunteer can enhance their skills while contributing to impactful projects.
Location of the volunteer work
Le travail de volontariat de l’ONG CECOSDA se déroule à Yaoundé, plus précisément dans le quartier de Mendong, à Montée Jouvence. Les volontaires peuvent s’engager pour différentes durées, selon l’option choisie, avec la possibilité de participer soit en ligne, soit en présentiel. Généralement, chaque année, 20 pourcent des places sont réservées pour les volontaires en ligne, tandis que 80 pourcent des places sont destinées à ceux qui préfèrent s’impliquer sur le terrain.
Duration of the volunteering
The duration of commitment for volunteering varies depending on the chosen option. For online volunteering, the minimum commitment period is one month. This flexibility allows volunteers to engage while balancing their other responsibilities. However, for in-person volunteering, we have two available options !
