Description

Love Volunteers is looking for native English speakers to help teach and improve the knowledge of English to communities in Mongolia. English is taught from an early age in Mongolian schools and language academies. This means that native English-speaking volunteers are a hugely sought-after resource. Volunteer English teachers are deployed in two ways: delivering English teaching at all levels and across all age groups, predominantly within the range 8 to 16; and enhancing the work done by the teachers, both by improving standards of English which they speak and by giving advice regarding the methods being used. Additionally, by using English language while helping to run other fun activities, volunteers in Mongolia contribute greatly to the children's assimilation of a language that will help them with future training and job prospects.

Highlights

* Love Volunteers is a not-for-profit organisation that provides fun, rewarding, safe and affordable volunteering opportunities in developing countries around the world.

* Since Love Volunteers is a not-for-profit organization, it is one of the most affordable ways to help out in a developing country while being immersed in the local culture.

* Volunteers are accommodated with a host family. 2-3 meals are provided daily.

* A one-day culture orientation and language course then follows. The morning is devoted to intensive language and cultural training, held in the capital city Ulaanbaatar. During the afternoon, the volunteer visits an ethnic minority community and participates in various cultural activities.

* In Mongolia, the volunteer working week lasts from Monday to Friday, with 25 hours typically worked in total. Weekends are free to experience in Mongolia. These include: a visit to a 'ger' (tent-house) district, hiking through Mongolia's highly distinctive landscape, watching and taking part in cultural dance, a trip to Terelj National Park (well-known for its rock formations, camels and horse-riding), as well as visits to the Gandan Monastery and Natural History Museum or Museum of Fine Arts.
