Now in it’s 5th year, the Sankofa Center for African Dance & Culture, an official 501(c)3 U.S.-based charitable organization is searching for artistic, teaching, and health-based volunteers for our up-coming 2008 arts-based HIV/AIDS education programs in Ghana, West Africa & other international destinations.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
In Conjunction with UCLA Department of African Studies Research, S.C.A.D.C. fuses traditional African dance, drama, & other art forms with health information to educate Ghanaian youths & adults about HIV/AIDS. These very necessary performances are both entertaining & educational. Our program utilizes the vibrant energies of our volunteers & local team to tour various villages & schools to help eradicate AIDS in Africa through art! We also conduct free rapid HIV testing in our village outreach to link those needing treatment with medical care. Visit our website to apply for upcoming programs if you’d like to be apart of this amazing and life-changing experience in 2008!
2008 PROGRAMS: Apply early as space is limited for each program
March 3rd - April 30th
May 1st - June 29th
July 3rd - August 31th
September 3rd - October 31st
November 1st - December 28th
Selected volunteers may choose any week-length of participation from one to eight weeks.
DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES:
Individuals with a background in the arts, dance, drama, theatre, music, public health, medicine, and related fields are encouraged to apply. However, volunteers are not necessarily required to be performers. A major aspect of our work is teaching & counseling sexual health topics to village youth so applicants possessing peer health education skills are needed. We will train you if you lack the background. Assistants for pre-post counseling and rapid HIV testing are also needed, we can train appropriate applicants on the procedures as well. Our Programs vary but as a volunteer you will be actively involved in the artistic presentation of our HIV/AIDS health campaigns through your specified program.
