Come Join Our Team!

There is always room for volunteers at Dare Women's Foundation and we love hosting people from around the world who are interested in our mission, values, and goals. Whether you want to come for a week or for a few months, we'd love to have you and we will help you craft an experience with us that is sure to be unforgettable. All of our projects are ongoing and in constant development, so there are always jobs for volunteers. Regardless of the project(s) you are interested in, you will be working, living, and getting to know the local communities that Dare Women's Foundation is working with. We believe that the most important work a volunteer can do is to learn from the communities themselves, share their own knowledge, and spread the work about the foundation. If you're interested in any of our existing projects or would like to pitch one of your own, don't be shy! Reach out and we'll get back to you as soon as possible to see how we can collaborate. 

Recent Volunteer Testimonials

Mary N.
"In my final year at Bowdoin College, I was selected as one of 42 Thomas J. Watson Fellows for 2022-2023. My fellowship project is to observe and learn how women from various backgrounds, particularly women who are formal or informal caretakers, cultivate community, support and empower one another, as well as how they perform self-care. I came across Dare Women’s Foundation after an extensive search for a local NGO empowering women in East Africa. I fell in love with the amazing work Dare is doing to support the holistic well-being of women, from helping them achieve financial independence, to creating women led support groups. The two months I spent with Dare traveling across Tanzania are some of my most cherished memories. I left Tanzania with new friends and family, a renewed connection to my East African roots, and a new found love and respect for the environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dare to any individuals interested in helping organizations empowering women, through volunteering, financially, and/or both."

​"After graduating from Harvard in May 2022 with a degree in Environmental Science, I traveled to work with Dare on a Pforzheimer Public Service Fellowship from my university. It has always been my goal to combine my interests in photography and film with social justice and I feel extremely proud to have worked with the Dare Women's Foundation on their multimedia content slate. From the moment I arrived in Arusha, I felt safe and well taken care of by Maggie and the entire Dare Women's Foundation community and I felt like I always had someone to turn to in the event that I needed it. As someone who is normally quite wary of the "volun-tourism" industry, I would still recommend Dare to potential volunteers because Maggie operates in a way that undoubtedly puts first priority on the communities and women she works with. There's no doubt that she is making major changes throughout Tanzania and I would encourage anyone interested in volunteering or supporting Dare financially to give her a call and learn more about the NGO and to see how they can get involved."
