Description

Volunteer in Krakow, one of Europe's most exciting cities. English-speaking volunteers are needed to work and play with needy children and young people throughout the city. Volunteers will teach English in an informal, fun setting, and help out with field trips, sports and art/music/computer projects. If you play an instrument, sing, play basketball, soccer, etc., or just want to teach English, you are welcome to join and help out.

Highlights

You'll work with children who come from impoverished or dysfunctional families. After school and special summer programs offer these kids an escape from their difficult circumstances, and a chance to just have fun. Most of these placements will be based in Krakow and include frequent field trips to nearby museums, recreation centers, and mountains, rivers and countryside.
