Volunteering abroad as a basketball coach? What a fantastic idea! Sports volunteers, especially those playing basketball, are a great support for programs all around the world. As a team sport that is familiar to a lot of children and teens in Africa, Asia, or South America, it's the perfect chance to support local schools and sports clubs.

Even if coaching basketball as a volunteer isn't the right thing for you and it's more about playing, there are lots of programs with a basketball court in the neighborhood. Choose to support basketball programs in South Africa, sports teaching programs in Peru, or refugees settling in Italy, go ahead and dunk it in!
