Volunteer
Volunteers are needed both on an ongoing and occasional basis.
SHOW & TELL — We are happy to present the Simbolei story to your school, church, synagogue or civic group. We can prepare a presentation about Kenyan education and our project that is appropriate for your group’s age and interests.
HOST AN EVENT — We host fundraising and education events to help fund construction of Simbolei Girls Secondary School, the Simbolei Community Library and Summer Literacy Outreach. Events include cookbook sales, concerts and Kenyan dinners. If you would like to host an event or volunteer to help with an event, contact us for details.
EDUCATOR VOLUNTEERS — We are constantly working to update our curriculum approaches and incorporate new material. We always welcome volunteers who can help remotely, or locally in Kenya, short term or even for a few months.
Examples include identifying educational resources and materials our teachers can use, directly mentoring or coaching students in drama, music, chess or sports. For more details, please contact us.
IN KENYA — We will have multiple volunteer opportunities in Kenya. Contact us for more details.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES — We need new supplies of all types including pencils, notebooks, markers, crayons and chalk. We can accept new or used calculators in good condition.
BOOKS — If you or your group would like to donate new or gently used books for our Simbolei library, please contact us for details. We need educational, leisure, and general interest reading for children and adults. Consider donating picture books, young adult novels, or non-fiction that help children and adults learn and explore.
