Lalela volunteers must be 18 years or older and emotionally mature enough to work with at-risk children. A good understanding of the English language is required. You do not need to be an artist to be a Lalela volunteer, but an interest in art is a definite plus. We also accept volunteers who are interested in poetry, music, dance and theatre.

We are relatively flexible and are willing to negotiate a part-time schedule with volunteers where required. Should you need to work half-days, please note that our classes take place in the afternoons from 14:00, so you will not be able to work “mornings only” unless you are an Office Volunteer.

Lalela volunteers are not paid a stipend. There is also no payment required to participate in Lalela’s volunteer programme. We do, however, accept and appreciate donations from volunteers, should you want to contribute further to our programme.
