About VSO
VSO is the world's leading development organisation that works through volunteers to fight poverty. We are unique in the way we bring people together to share their skills and experience, generate insights and ideas and, most of all, take action against poverty and exclusion. It's a highly effective approach that works, and today is helping millions of people in some of the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty.
Role overview
The ideal candidate for this role is an excellent communicator and representative for the youth in the youth council of Zanzibar. The relationship with this youth council was set up through previous youth projects of VSO Tanzania, and we are now looking for volunteers who can build on these relationships and where possible, extend them further. Next to this, you will be jointly responsible for building relationships with the Dar es Salaam youth council, which are currently non-existing. During this placement, you will work together intensively with a national volunteer who is already representing youth in the youth council. . In this role, you will be working on supporting these youth councils in the design and the implementation of their youth policy. The main goal of this will be the strengthening of the council's youth engagement and youth voice. Plans should be made, initiatives should be undertaken and these ideas are expected to be executed to further enhance youth engagement in Tanzanian society. This can only be achieved when the volunteer is in constant conversation, either face to face or through other communications channels, with young people and/or their representing bodies. Next to that, the volunteer should also be a representative of VSO both in- and outside of the targeted youth councils. If you want to contribute to shaping and building the future of the youth in Tanzania, this is your job!
