Volunteer and Teach English in Bali

Volunteer teaching in Bali was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this location for anyone planning a first time teaching adventure. The program coordinators are always present during prep time to answer questions, supplies are provided for teaching, and the coordinator is present at the school for any issues that may arise. Transportation is organized for you by the coordinator as well, so no extra worry or effort required. Orientation to the program includes Bahasa lessons which are valuable in lessons with the children, or for when you adventure out in your free time. I participated in the offered cultural week, activities included Batik painting, cooking lessons, visits to the Monkey Forest and the Holy Water Temple. I spent free time in Ubud and took private tours to temples, waterfalls, rice terraces, and snorkeling excursions. Everyone is approachable, friendly , helpful , and spoke fair to very good English. A Very productive, adventurous, and memorable 2 weeks. I highly recommend the Bali Ubud program!

These three weeks have been the best part of my summer. I feel like I've grown a lot as a person. I've learned a lot about a culture completely different from my own, and that has also opened my eyes in many ways. If I had to give any advice, it would be: don't be afraid to go alone. There are many people just like you, and it's a way to open up more. Of course, you'll make many more friends, and the connection you'll have with them will be very strong and unforgettable.

This journey has been so much more than I expected, not only was it deeply educational and eye-opening, but it also allowed me to meet incredible people from all over the world, exchange cultures, and grow personally and professionally. Every day spent teaching, learning, and connecting with the local community reminded me how powerful education and kindness can be.
