Volunteer with the Kampala Slum Mobile Cinema Outreach

Join us in bringing cinema, culture, and community empowerment to underserved areas in Uganda! The Kampala Slum Mobile Cinema Outreach is more than just a film festival—it’s a transformative project that uses the power of film and dialogue to educate, inspire, and uplift marginalized communities. By volunteering with us, you’ll have the unique opportunity to engage directly with local communities, create meaningful change, and be part of a dedicated team passionate about human rights, social justice, and cultural exchange.

Why Volunteer with Us?

As a volunteer, you’ll play an essential role in helping us realize our mission. Each week throughout November 2024, we’ll be organizing open-air film screenings in slum communities across Entebbe and Kampala, offering discussions, children’s activities, and guest speaker events aimed at fostering dialogue and promoting human rights. This is your chance to contribute to an inclusive festival that brings enrichment and advocacy opportunities to over 5,000 attendees.

Volunteer Opportunities

Whether you’re passionate about film, community engagement, or just eager to make a difference, there’s a role for everyone! Here’s how you can help:

• Discussion Facilitation
  If you have a background in human rights, social work, or facilitation, help lead post-screening discussions, encouraging audiences to reflect on the themes presented. Volunteers with these skills can help spark important conversations and guide respectful, impactful dialogue.
