SHUMAS, though a relatively small organisation, has been able to provide voluntary work experience to more than 300 young persons in their "gap period" and also to older persons wishing to gain more experience, but who also may have useful experience to share.
About 100 volunteers from Europe, North America and Australia have already participated in our schemes.
Most European volunteers come to us via our UK partner, AidCamps International and further details are obtainable from their website www.aidcamps.org.
Cameroon Support Organisation (Camso), based in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, and Anne Dance's group in Guelph in Canada are also recruiting volunteers who will be helping us meet our objectives.
We offer diverse voluntary positions to many volunteers to work on our projects and programmes throughout the year and we accept volunteers of all nationalities.
Some volunteering positions require specific skills, but the majority require no academic or professional qualification.
The opportunities we offer on our projects and programmes are very
flexible. Duration ranges from 1 week to 52 weeks. Volunteering with
SHUMAS gives 
prospective volunteers a chance to
work on a variety of grassroots projects of different magnitudes and
domains. It offers an opportunity to interact with different cultures
in varied locations and also the opportunity to work and live with
local people.
Volunteers may be more orientated to certain programmes depending on their objectives of volunteering with SHUMAS.
To ensure successful developmental intervention, SHUMAS networks with a cross section of institutions, other NGOs, educational and health establishments, church based institutions, etc. See our partners page.
We do not discriminate ....what we ask of our volunteers is that they be highly motivated and be tolerant to other cultures.
