Community Development Workers

YPWC is currently recruiting two to three interns to assist us with the development of our Millennium Development Goal Clubs with support from the UN Millennium Campaign.

• Some tertiary education is required

• Excellent communication skills
• Knowledge of the Millennium Development Goals
• Experience working with youths aged between 9-17 years
