International volunteering
Through Saints Sport's international volunteering programmes, students use sport, leadership and education to make a positive difference in communities around the world while developing valuable skills and global perspectives.
For more than 15 years, St Andrews has supported sustainable sport development initiatives in Africa through long-term partnerships led by local communities and organisations.
International volunteering transforms lives, both for the communities we work alongside and for the students who participate.
Your support helps provide meaningful opportunities for students to develop leadership, coaching and teaching skills while contributing to sustainable, locally-led sport and education programmes.
Your support helps fund:
- sports equipment and learning resources
- volunteer training and development opportunities
- support for community sport programmes
- leadership and education initiatives for young people
- capacity-building projects within local communities
- facility and service improvements at community hub sites
- workforce development pathways for local coaches and leaders
- areas of greatest need within the Volunteer Zambia programme.
Impact
Working through the Volunteer Zambia programme and our long-term partnership with Sport in Action, St Andrews students support sustainable sport development initiatives that empower young people through participation, education and leadership.
Together with Sport in Action, we help build capacity within local communities by investing in community sport hubs, supporting facilities and services, and creating workforce development opportunities for local coaches, volunteers and leaders. This locally-led approach ensures projects are shaped by community needs and deliver lasting impact.
Your support helps expand this impact, providing resources where they are needed most and creating opportunities for young people, communities and future leaders across Zambia and beyond.
Every gift helps empower young people, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact through sport, education and leadership.
