Your time and skills can change a child's life. TSL volunteers are the backbone of everything we do, from coaching on the pitch to teaching in the classroom.
TSL volunteers don't just show up, they show young people what's possible. When a child from a Lagos street community sees an adult who cares enough to give their Saturday to coach them, it changes the way they see the world and themselves.
Whether you're a retired footballer, a qualified teacher, a social worker, a graphic designer, or simply someone who wants to give back, there is a role for you at TSL. We ask only for commitment, consistency, and a genuine desire to see young people thrive.
No matter your background or location, reach out and we will find a role that makes the best use of your skills.
