HBUFC Ubuntu together with Live & Learn
HBUFC Ubuntu is our internship and international volunteering programme. Through it we offer unpaid internships and volunteer jobs in various projects, through contracting with volunteers from abroad (largely Europe and the USA currently).

Are you looking for a unique work and travel experience for a few months? Or even an entire gap year in South Africa? Apply now!
Ubuntu informs and advises the volunteers and tries to find one or more projects in HBUFC, other organisations in Hout Bay, or the broader Cape Town area for the volunteers, taking into account the needs and abilities of the volunteers. Volunteers must be 18 years or over, and you will work together with our local teachers and other volunteers. The minimum length of stay is 2 months. This period guarantees that you will settle in, connect to the people and have an impact on the project.

Areas of Opportunity
Our volunteers are utilised for a wide range of tasks, from coaching, over teaching, to administrative duties, and are given a great deal of responsibility. A passion for football is a definite plus. The choice of which age groups and genders you would like to work with is given to you, if you want to get involved in coaching our football teams.
