School Enrichment Facilitator in Uganda

We are looking for U.S. citizens who want to be a part of something bigger and are willing to go the distance to make a difference. Is that you?

In more than 60 countries, Peace Corps Volunteers are putting their purpose, passion, and skills to work in partnership with welcoming host communities – growing, teaching, learning, and making change together.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll live and work alongside community members on locally prioritized projects, receiving a stipend and other support as you immerse yourself in a new culture. You’ll build relationships, exchange knowledge, and help transform lives for generations.

Project description

Schools across Uganda are looking to enhance the student learning experience beyond the country’s standard curriculum, and you can lend a hand!

Uganda’s Ministry of Education and Sports has an integrated approach to English education that emphasizes childhood education and care as a strategic entry point for addressing broader community needs that ultimately impact children’s learning and well-being—a priority given that more than half the population is under the age of 18. Schools are interested in implementing initiatives that promote school health and nutrition, environmental sustainability, psychosocial support, and access to clean water and sanitation.

As a School Enrichment Facilitator, you will collaborate with school staff, parents, and community members to support the engagement and development of students ages 7 to 18. Alongside your colleagues, you will design sustainable projects that enhance both educational outcomes and community resilience.

Peace Corps Volunteers:

• Must be U.S. citizens.
• Serve for two years following three months of in-country training.
• In addition to the $10'800 service award, the Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with housing and a living stipend that enables them to live and work alongside the people in their community of service.
• Receive medical and dental care during service.
• Receive transportation to and from the country of service.
• Often learn a new language during service
• Earn lifetime eligibility for graduate school fellowships through the Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program.
• Must be at least 18 years old (no upper age limit).
