SEGA prepares students for English Fluency through English immersion and fluency curricula conducted by teachers and volunteers.
Offered and organized by Globally Reconnect and Collaborative Learning Network.
We are gathering a global group of school leaders who are curious to learn from the experiences of others and are willing to courageously share their own stories of successes, challenges, and everything in between. We will work together to discover what is possible when integrated learning experiences emerge from strong relationships and entrepreneurial skills are developed to meet the community’s real needs. This is the founding group of an intentionally curated community that will gracefully expand over time.
The aspiration is to co-create a community of beautiful humans with a heart for a flourishing planet who are leading mission-aligned schools from across all global regions. We will guide the group toward meaningful conversations about philosophy, practice, and possibilities. We hope that supportive partnerships will emerge from this gathering and that the conversations will continue on a shared and facilitated platform. We are actively pursuing funding for three years of coaching support for ten learning communities that aspire to become a local and global model.
The immersive event will be a week-long event hosted by one of your peers, SEGA: Secondary Education for Girl’s Advancement, the girls are very excited to meet you all at their campus. Our time together includes hands-on learning experiences with SEGA students, an excursion to a local research facility, and sharing music, dance, and sports. Time will be allocated for you to share your story, your learning, and your reflections with your peers as we build this movement together.

STEM ADVENTURES AT SEGA
Come join us in Tanzania!
Goals of the Role: To engage diverse students in conversations around STEM and introduce them to STEM professionals.
Impact of the Role: In Tanzania, the participation of female students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in Higher Education is low. According to UNESCO, women in Tanzania represent 40 percent of university enrollment, but only about 24 percent are in STEM. In Tanzania, students must select a track to study in high school after Form 2. This track could be either Science, Arts, or Business. To achieve higher levels of girls’ participation in STEM subjects, Nurturing Minds and SEGA launched a pilot STEM extracurricular program that reinforced concepts learned in class, made STEM learning interactive and accessible, and emphasized the myriad possibilities of careers in STEM for women.
Volunteers will become STEM Role Models and Story Tellers to foster a sense of belonging in STEM among SEGA students by exposing them to experience motivation, excitement, and interest, and to learn about phenomena in the natural and physical world and think of themselves as science learners to develop an identity as someone who knows about, uses, and sometimes contributes to science. Through the program, students will create emotional connections and personal relevance to impact their STEM learning.
Role Models are crucial in showing students where they might fit in STEM. Volunteers are role models for our SEGA students who are available to students for questions and interactions throughout the program and after.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Follow a pre-designed curriculum to implement a STEM program and science-sharing project
Assess and document student skill level and progress
Submit all required paperwork promptly
Develop strong, positive relationships with students to promote personal and academic growth
Ensure consistent attendance and learning outcomes for the class are met
Document and review student learning progress to share with staff
Fulfill all other duties deemed vital to the function of the organizations
Time Requirements: STEM Volunteers will be engaged in lessons from 8 AM until 3:30 PM during the 5 days of program lessons. It is roughly 6-7 hours of teaching per day. There are breaks for tea, rest, and lunch. Our schedule includes a field trip day, a science share day, a cultural exchange day, and a weekend safari!
Location: SEGA Girls’ School in Morogoro, Tanzania
Land Cost:
Single Accommodation Land Cost: $2,344 (single hotel room options in Dar es Salaam)

Lying at the base of the magnificent Uluguru Mountains, the Morogoro region is the agricultural land of Tanzania. The region supports the vegetation of tobacco along with the complete processing before being transported to market areas. Along with agriculture, the city is known for its educational centers and hospitals. The short distance from the city of Dar es Salaam makes Morogoro popular among travelers. The region exhibits its beauty with its culture and art. Adventure and leisure can be best here with less chaos and amazing food. One can even enjoy a Safari at the closely nestled Mikumi National Park and Selous Game Reserve.
Nestled near the base of the beautiful Uluguru Mountains, the SEGA Girls School is located 7 miles north of Morogoro, which is located approximately 5 hours west of Dar es Salaam by car.

No, and several current and past members of the team didn’t have any background in STEM before joining! There are a few roles where a STEM background is important, but for most roles, we’re keen to welcome students, professionals, or educators with all academic interests!
For most roles, no! If you are wanting to join as a Program Lead or to lead certain program lessons, you’ll need some general science or math understanding and experience. Generally, we’re not worried about whether you’ve done something like this before if you’re applying to be a volunteer.
Yes! Though having at least some of the listed skills will help you have a good foundation for your chosen role, enthusiasm to learn and grow is more important to us than past experience, and you’ll develop many of the skills you need during your time in the team. Remember though, you can tell us about what skills you have through anything you’ve done before or been previously involved in, whether through school, clubs, work, action in your community, or your personal experiences.
We mainly work through email and WhatsApp. We will have several Zoom orientation meetings to meet everyone prior to traveling, and we will have a welcome dinner on our first night together in Dar es Salaam!
There’s no one thing that makes someone an ideal applicant - everyone on the team has different backgrounds, skillsets, interests, and levels of previous experience in making a difference through STEM education!

Go beyond tourism. Connect as a global citizen. Forever change your perspective.
Tanzania's known for Mount Kilimanjaro and its famed safaris. Most visitors skip over major cities and have little interaction with locals outside of those in the tourist industry. That's what makes Venture Tanzania an adventure of a lifetime. This video brings your experience alive.
Join us on this custom nine-day/eight-night CGG Experience. We immerse in the rapidly growing city of Dar es Salaam; make Maasai home visits, visit enterprises, and get to know students while based at the Lodge at SEGA Girls' School in Morogoro; enjoy a safari at Mikumi National Park. The Experience connects us to Tanzania's future--culture, education, sustainability, and wildlife preservation are a focus. As in all Venture Tanzania, personal connection and global learning are the key souvenirs.
This CGG Experience is limited to 10 curious, adventurous, globally-minded travelers. There will be numerous opportunities to engage pre-trip, which will enhance our learning experience.
Curious-minded people who join each intimate journey make Venture Travel Experiences unique! Are YOU open to thinking differently?
We invite you to walk, run, or hike at least 3.7 miles in a location of your choice on Sunday, April 28th to support SEGA's water and other needs.
We invite you to join us on Zoom as we celebrate #GivingTuesday with SEGA students Nailat and Nurath who will speak on their experience attending an international robotics competition in Singapore.
