Use your skills to serve others
MMM South Africa is passionate about connecting the right skills with the right project—both locally in South Africa and internationally.
Ministries, NGOs, churches, schools, hospitals and other faith-based organisations often have important facilities, infrastructure and technical projects to undertake, but may not have access to all the professional expertise they need.
That's where skilled volunteers can make a practical difference.
What skills are we looking for?
Volunteer opportunities can vary depending on the needs of each project. Some areas where specialist input may be needed include:
Architecture & design
Engineering
Construction & building
Electrical & energy
Water & infrastructure
IT & communications
Audio-visual systems
Project management
Facilities & maintenance
Technical review & advice

This is not an exhaustive list. If you have specialist skills or experience that could help a ministry or organisation serve more effectively, we would still like to hear from you.
What could volunteering involve?
Your involvement could be as simple as providing professional advice on a particular question, or as involved as contributing to a project from planning through to implementation.
Depending on the project, you might:
- Review a plan, proposal or technical solution.
- Advise an organisation on its options and help them make an informed decision.
- Plan or contribute to a masterplan, feasibility study or project scope.
- Assess an existing building, system or piece of infrastructure.
- Coordinate with other professionals and specialists.
- Visit a site to provide technical input or assessment.
- Support implementation through project oversight or technical review.
- Some opportunities may be a once-off contribution; others may be longer term.
We will aim to match your skills and availability with projects where they can be genuinely useful.
