Popular volunteer work in the towns usually involves working with the street-boys. These programs need volunteers to commit to at least three months. They are quite involved and require working on the streets to build up a relationship and trust with the street-boys. Once they have come to the hostel returning them to their families is a priority with a follow up program to ensure the boys readjust to family life. The boys who are not able to return home or indeed have no families are sent to school, guided on how to live healthy and life skills are taught. Volunteers are expected to get involved with all aspects of this work.

The rural area’s normally offer teaching positions. A normal week will have around 15 hours of English lessons. During lessons the volunteers may work with a Tanzanian teacher or may have a class all to themselves. The volunteers role is to focus on improving speaking and listening skills and building the children's confidence to communicate. This means lots of fun and interaction, including games, songs dressing up, and any other creative activities that get the kids using English. There are also roles at kindergarten where the children are normally between the ages of 4-7. There is a great opportunity for someone who loves playing with and entertaining children as well as teaching them basic English. The kindergarten is a less daunting environment but equally challenging and rewarding.
