This youth led initiative aims at preserving both tangible and intangible heritage of the local area through cultural dance performances and storytelling. Volunteers will help this organization complete their structure where they intend to teach youths skills in carpentry and tailoring.

the study theme for this camp will be ‘The future through arts and culture’ emphasizing that the arts can play a vital role in preserving our heritage.

volunteers will be accommodated at the project site.

Volunteers are responsible for their own travel arrangements, organizing their own transport and visas. It is very important that you find out well in advance about whether you need to apply for a visa at the Zambian embassy or commission in your country or whether you can get one at the point of entry in Zambia. If you intend to visit another country before coming to Zambia, please ensure that you apply a multiple entry visa for that country so that you can be allowed entry in Zambia. We will provide all participants coming to our projects with invitation letters for visa application processes.
It is not YAZ standard policy to pick up volunteers from the airport, but if you would like to be picked up please inform us well in advance. It is therefore important for volunteers to communicate their dates and times of arrival via email.
Volunteers should make sure to have our office and mobile numbers before traveling in order to call us in any inconveniences that might arise.

The orientation for all camps is held on the day after arrival (in this case all orientation will be on Sundays). Participants, therefore, have to be at the camp on Saturday (all camps starts on Sunday while arrival is on Saturday). We encourage volunteers to be at the site on the Saturday for orientation because personal orientation is time consuming!

The workcamp participation fee is 210 Euros per participant, which covers simple workcamp meals, arrangements for the whole workcamp preparation in terms of communication, electronic mailing and transport for meeting with different stakeholders. Small Euro and Dollar notes are very difficult to change at currency exchange places and banks.

Travel expenses from Lusaka to work camp places and back are not covered in this 210 Euros camp fee and that this fee is payable upon arrival.

The aim of this camp it to help build another block of three classrooms that will help decongest the two that now hold all the students from 1st to 7th grade.

this camp is focusing on volunteerism as a development tool especially in vulnerable and poverty stricken areas. This project will demonstrate that volunteerism put to good use can yield results greater than what we no envisage.

Kamatipa Community School is a school run by the community in Kamatipa compound in partnership with the YMCA. This school aims at providing education to the children in this compound whose parents have died or are incapable of helping them in their education endeavours.
The work will involve the construction of an extension block to the existing one so that the pupils can have a better learning environment. This camp will also be working at a little known heritage site; the site at which the plane carrying the United Nations Secretary General, Dag Hammarskjold, crashed. The volunteers will help bring awareness about the site and they’ll also work at the actual site making paths and clearing undergrowth.

this camp will have community involvement in community projects as its main theme. We want to encourage free, prior and informed participation in the processes of developing and implementing community initiatives.
