Volunteer is needed immediately for working with SYDP staff in implementing the innovation of this newly project to be implemented via male and female salons. SYDP proposes to embark on a 12 month campaign in Dar es salaam targeting youth and young adults with a view to promote awareness about HIV/AIDS through female and male salons around Kinondoni, DSM as a pilot project. The project will be implemented through salons which are widely used by youth and young adults, at least once per month. There are more than 1.2 million people living in Kinondoni alone, with more than 2000 registered salons. Almost in each street there are minimum of 20 salons. On average one Hair Dressers gets 5 clients per day. With 90 salons directly involved in the project in Kinondoni, Dar es salaam, we expect to be reaching a minimum of 3 people per salon per day giving 270 of people reached directly per day and a total of 8,100 people reached per month. At the end of the year the project expects to reach a minimum of 90,000 through salons. We expect the multiplier effect to take place, thus the project will reach even more people indirectly.

SYDP is recruiting International volunteers to work in Tanzania. The project include working with in and out of school young people between 10–28 years. Africa out-of-school youth live under the most challenging conditions and are marginalized from mainstream services and society. Street children, adolescent sex workers, orphans, and other such groups are generally, but not always, out of school. Out-of-school youth have many of the same needs as other youth, including the need for food and shelter, a sense of connection or belonging, skills in problem-solving and life planning, job or vocational training, access to appropriate services, empowerment to take responsibility for their own lives, and information on sexual health issues, including contraception and HIV prevention.
