Local Volunteer Programme
Thank you for displaying a genuine interest in your community. As a non-profit organization with limited resources, we rely heavily on the support we receive from committed individuals like you.
A volunteer is someone who offers an organisation his or her services of his or her own free will. A volunteer is not paid but is nevertheless expected to follow the guidelines laid down by the organisation and upheld by its management.
This webpage outlines the many opportunities made available to volunteers at Princess Alice Adoption Home. It also sets forth our high standard of expectations. For us, continuity and consistency are a priority. Continuity builds relationships and consistency maintains them. We believe it is important for our volunteers to be aware of the commitment and responsibility required for the positive development of each our children, as well as the success of the organisation as a whole.
The Home needs many types of volunteers. We truly believe that every volunteer can make a marked difference in the lives of the children we serve. From having one-on-one interaction with our babies, to making a sustainable contribution by training our staff in a specific area of expertise, the time you spend with us is greatly appreciated.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at the Home, you will be asked to:
• Download and Complete the application form which you can find at the bottom of the page,
• Attach a copy of your identity document or passport,
