Volunteer
Hosting Fundraisers
We encourage all of our supporters to host fundraisers or awareness events to spread the word about Zambia and raise funds for both our daily operations and our upcoming project goals. If you are interested in hosting a fundraiser, our organization can provide support for you through materials that you can distribute and use, forms for receipts and proof of our status as a non-profit. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in hosting a fundraiser and would like information.
Visiting Zambia as a Volunteer
One of the most memorable volunteer experiences you can have with Action for Children~Zambia is to visit our operations in Zambia. We welcome visitors to Kulunga Bana Youth Center and Redemption House and would be thrilled to coordinate a time with you to visit if you are interested and able. We ask all visitors to share their skills with us while they are here, whether through helping with the manual labor on the farm, supervising the children during recreation, teaching literacy classes or sharing a unique skill. Most visitors, unless they are dedicated to assisting with a specific project, spend time at both Kulunga Bana Youth Center and Redemption House.
We have no paid administrative staff; all fundraising, administrative tasks and overhead duties are performed by our dedicated volunteers.

We welcome volunteers who are interested in researching and writing grants for our organization.
