Volunteering with Dramatic Need.

Volunteering with Dramatic Need is an immensely rewarding experrience. We send UK-based professional actors, artists and musicians to South Africa to conduct workshops in primary schools.

Volunteers can go for a period of between two weeks to two months, either individually or in companies. Workshops are based around the particular expertise of the volunteer, be it drama, visual arts, music or even dance.

Volunteers are billeted within the local community and will usually workshop at two different primary schools during their stay. We encourage volunteers to stay as long as their work/study schedule permits, so both students and volunteers can get as much out of the programme as possible.

If this all sounds like just your thing, then you can read more details about the programme, request a volunteer pack (without any obligation, of course) or hear stories from volunteers and students alike below.
