Passionate about giving back to the community? Interested in helping imagine a more sustainable future?
Want to empower young people through creative writing?
Then we’re looking for you!
Since it’s inception, Voices of Future Generations (VoFG) Arabia has helped many children find their voices and express their vision as they’ve explored what a greener, more accessible world could look like. But as we continue to grow and expand, we’ve realised that a mission like this needs more than a team to make it happen. It needs a whole village.
So whether you’re a student looking to gain community service credits, or someone looking to take part in a worthy cause during their free time, there’s plenty of opportunities!
