Join the Teaching program in Kerala with International Volunteer HQ and support primary school education in the coastal city of Kochi. Volunteers step into classrooms working with children aged roughly 6 to 12 years old.

You will feel part of a family.
July 30, 2025by: Jane ArrisProgram: Affordable Teaching Volunteering in India - Kerala with IVHQ
The guidance and preparation resources made me feel confident to give it a go. I had no concerns or worries as a result. IVHQ is a wholly trustworthy organisation which wants all volunteers to have a great experience. The programs represent great value for money. You will meet many other volunteers who hold similar values to you. There will be plenty of interesting discussions round the dinner table! In a sense, you will feel part of a family.
The connection you will build over your experience with locals as well as with other volunteers will unfold a wealth of opportunities in your life.

The resources met my expectation while enhancing a smooth transition with the local organisation I was affiliated to. The local team was remarkable in many aspects. Their respective projects were well run, streamlined and very well managed. My teaching coordinator was caring, professional and incredibly helpful and supportive. I had a positive feedback from the students and I do believe they truly enjoyed our mutual collaboration during the program. Getting out of your comfort zone is the first step towards your inner transformation. The connection you will build over your experience with locals as well as with other volunteers will unfold a wealth of opportunities in your life.
A safe, enjoyable experience with great staff and food

It was a great house which was in a good location, safe and the staff were extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. The food was prepared by the fantastic cooks who were really nice and always made high quality, nutritious meals. If someone was still hesitant about volunteering abroad, I would recommend trying it at least once and make sure it is with a reputable company like IVHQ who ensures a safe experience with great staff.
