Volunteer with SERVE in Mozambique – Make a Real Impact! 

SERVE is a Cork-based development and volunteering organisation committed to tackling poverty in the Global South. We are excited to partner with Young Africa Mozambique, a leading organisation in life skills, technical, and vocational training (TVET), to offer a hands-on, life-changing volunteer experience.

Both campuses deliver practical youth programs, life skills, and technical training initiatives.
