TP offers unique volunteer opportunities for those interested in teaching music and Arts, sharing creative passions and inspiring others to develop their artistic abilities. Each of our programs are unique to the regions in Tanzania and are structured around the local culture.
Why do Arts & Music project with Tanzania Projects
As part of a well-rounded education, it’s critical that children have access to creative resources and outlets. In many low income communities, however, art and music is not a focus or a priority within education systems.
As a music or art volunteer in Tanzania, you’ll support local teachers by putting structure around artistic programs. By bringing your own creative flair and talent, you’ll help teach youth and teens the importance of art, music and creativity, whether it be playing the guitar, dancing or general arts and crafts.
​
Your volunteering efforts will help support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals #3: Good Health & Wellbeing and #4: Quality Education.
TP’s programs are available year-round and are ideal for creative volunteers who enjoy contributing to a range of tasks and want to help others discover their artistic passions.
