Kids Play International

Volunteers will learn how to use SPORT to teach life skill lessons; team work, leadership, gender equity, sportsmanship, respect, importance of education and healthy living. We teach and play new and familiar sports with the children. Additionally, we will also visit the wonderful country side, markets, villages, wildlife.

Kids Play volunteer trips are typically between 8-12 people ranging from Students, Young Professionals, Athletes, Families and Executives. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet people from all over the world while feeling rewarded by the work you'll do and the impact you can make on the children you will meet!

KPI Volunteers travel with donated sports equipment used to introduce children to new sports, teach life skill lessons. Volunteers will visit schools, orphanages and work with the children participating in our Let's Play Community Sports Program. KPI also includes exciting excursions for volunteers to see and experience the culture, countryside and wildlife each country offers.

We look for volunteers of all ages who are flexible, open minded travelers looking for a real "local" experience and are interested in sports, active play, health, fitness or education. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
