Coaching for Hope - part of the international volunteering and development charity Skillshare International - uses football to create better futures for young people in West and Southern Africa.
Skillshare International is part of a government-backed consortium commissioned to deliver the ‘International Citizen Service’ programme, which provides opportunities for 18 to 25 year-olds to volunteer in Africa and Asia to help reduce poverty and inequality, and to improve access to education, healthcare and sustainable livelihoods.
Skillshare International's Coaching for Hope programme offers young people in the UK the opportunity to volunteer in South Africa, Lesotho or Botwsana, using sport to reach out to disadvantaged young people and teach life skills in rural and urban communities.
The Coaching for Hope team appointed us to help them launch and promote the International Citizen Service programme in the North East, and generate interest and enquiries from young volunteers.
