Description

A volunteer could help in a variety of different ways: from teaching English, to working in the computer or chemistry lab, to leadership and sports programs.
You can also help with any other school activity that might arise at the time of your visit. Another great way to get involved with the community is to offer your help to the church, as they are always organizing different events to help raise money for those in need in the community.

Highlights

This placement needs volunteers to help educate its students about other countries and cultures through international friendships. Because the volunteers and students would be close in age, we believe it would have a particularly strong impact on the cultural education of both parties, and perhaps create lasting relationships between the students and volunteers.

Qualifications

Have a teacher's spirit, understanding and dedication to help the community improve their English skills.
