Register to Provide Security at Community Conversations in Your Area

This opportunity is for individuals – not businesses – from historically disadvantaged communities, including townships, informal settlements, inner cities and rural areas.

This is not a job but a collaborative social-entrepreneurial opportunity to create both impact and income within communities. Your role contributes to a team effort where each participant plays a crucial part in making these Conversations happen.
