VOLUNTEERING

Become a volunteer

Since we are a non-profit organisation we are always keen on having volunteers. At Future Stars Academy we believe that everyone is a star and everyone has something to add. We can all learn from each other. Volunteering at Future Stars is a life learning experience that will broaden your horizon and give you a different perspective.

Volunteering at FSA means you will work with likeminded individuals, both local Tanzanians and other foreign participants to make a difference. FSA will support you along this journey. As football and sports is a universal language we embrace diversity and development.

Kick some balls and join our team!

What we Offer

The Academy has different projects where the volunteer / intern can be of added value both on and on the field. Depending on the skills and background of the volunteer / intern, FSA will decide after the intake if the volunteer is of more value on the field contributing in the trainings and sports activities and, or in the office helping in the management and running of the project.
