Volunteer in Cape Town
You can volunteer in Cape Town at any one of the organizations listed below. All of these organisations are non-profit organisations and rely heavily on volunteers and / or donations.
Volunteering projects include doing volunteer work with disadvantaged communities, animal welfare and upliftment projects.
Of course voluntering can be combined with a vacation in Cape Town.
You can also assist, without visiting Cape Town, by donating much needed funds.
The following is a list of organizations that have programs where you can volunteer in the Mother City.
I've arranged the list in an alphabetical order (this is just to clarify, as someone asked me why I've listed the animal shelters first).
