Sports Development Internship
South Africa receives millions of tourists every year thanks to its beautiful white beaches, exciting sports activities, and diverse wildlife. As our organisation grows, so does our family, and we want you to be a part of it. We offer a variety of internships across multiple different areas of SAVE, as well as within organisations we work closely with. Our interns immediately become part of our family and are integral for the smooth running and impactful work that is being done.
Children of whom are living within the settlements have a huge need for youth development projects in which they have the opportunity to learn valuable life skills such as teamwork, structure and discipline. All of which uplifts their self-esteem through the realisation of talent and ability. Engaging in team activities is important for the social development of the youth as it helps children build friendships, learn how to behave in different situations and learn about respect and how to deal with failure. During the various sport projects the children who are taught to play soccer, netball, cricket and other team sports are not only beneficial for the development of the children but is also a way for them to be exposed to better role models. Through this project, children are kept busy, which serves an important role in lowering socio-economic problems such as teenage pregnancy, delinquency, petty crime, and lowers their chances of getting involved in gangster crime and negative behaviour.
