The Future Stars Academy (FSA) was founded by Alfred Itaeli in 2009.
This non-profit organization helps to empower young children and teenagers both physically and mentally, through sport. FSA provides football training, competitions, and tournaments to disadvantaged children aged 4 to 20 years old.
The Future Stars Academy gives these young people a chance to build their football and life skills, which can continue to support and empower them in later years, but also engage with local community and support their development through different activities such as inter-school leagues, health and sport empowerment and other sports competition.
The working days are from Monday to Thursday, and Saturday.
Work starts at 9 am and usually ends at 4 pm. Lunch is not provided.
From Monday to Thursday 9 am – 1 pm, volunteers will be working In the office.
Some afternoons from Monday to Thursday, volunteers will have the chance to go to local schools to help with football training.
Saturdays from 10 am to 12 pm, will be football training.
This project does not require any previous experience, however, any related skills are helpful, as is a love for football. The project’s office is located 10 KM (6.8 miles) from our hostel, and is accessible via public transport.
