If you are a Cranfield student and have the necessary skills and experience and are interested in a volunteer placement please get in touch.
We are excited to announce our project opportunities for 2021-2022
Every year, SAFAD opens an opportunity for graduates to volunteer on placements with local partners, NGOs or local organisations across the world. SAFAD supports volunteers during their placement with operational and financial support. We aim to cover expenses such as air tickets, accommodation, visa, food, vaccinations, insurance and more. These placements offer an excellent opportunity to gain valuable professional, hands-on experience whilst supporting social and environmental development in the local communities where we work.
