Volunteer for South Africa

Why #Volunteer4SA?

Throughout human history, communal obligations were revered. We believe that it is time that communities venerate this ‘obligation’ again — and that it should resume as a culture of volunteerism — and be used to increase the effectiveness of funding in community‐led projects.

Our mission is to help Volunteer Organisations and local projects to achieve their goals by promoting a broad based culture of volunteerism in South Africa.

Collective Action

We can end Loadshedding

The day has arrived for South Africans to join hands and put an end to loadshedding. How?

Step 1: Switch off your geyser and pool pump during peak hours.

Step 2: Install a solar water heater or a heat pump.

Step 3: Install a solar PV system.

Volunteerism

Changing Peoples Lives & Saving the Planet Everyday!

The RegenCAN Indigent FD+ Compact is a Rescue Earth initiative whose primary objective is to provide community resilience orientated work for impoverished individuals in exchange for food, utilities, and goods & services that have been donated by donors. The FOOD plus token (FD+) is used exclusively by the RegenCAN Indigent FD+ Compact. Volunteers can fund the FD+ Compact by paying RegenCAN workers to work on their 10 Ecosystem Restoration Interventions!

Skills Training

Learn with #Volunteer4SA

One of the primary objectives of #Volunteer4SA is skills development. Volunteers have the opportunity to learn a wide range of new skills while they are volunteering. Volunteers can use their volunteerism (work experience) and new skills to enhance their CV — and get a job!

Open Access Courses

Non-Certificate Courses

Open access non-certificate courses are offered by individuals and organisations. Courses come in many forms — some are online and others are in person; and some are a combination of both. Subjects vary from building & farming to creative writing & sewing and more.

The Regenerative Systems Design Course — RSD Course — offers 48 certificate qualifications plus an opportunity to study towards a masters degree.

A DIY culture and possessing many life skills will become more important as we transition to a localised economic system.

Reduced Price Courses

Certificate Courses

Reduced price certificate courses will be offered by training organisations that wish to help our volunteers to get better qualified. Access to these courses is limited to volunteers that have reached a certain level of RE sustainability credits.
