Kindergarten and Slum Outreach in Goa, India

On this program you will teach at a local kindergarten in the morning, before heading back to the centre for lunch and then in the afternoons you will volunteer on the slum outreach project.

This kindergarten is run by a local Goan family and provides education for cheerful and energetic children from underprivileged families who cannot afford regular kindergarten fees or otherwise might not attend school.

You will have ample opportunities to engage in creative teaching and learn teaching skills from experienced local staff. This project also offers opportunities for aspiring kindergarten teachers. You can teach a variety of subjects to the children, including English, music, arts and crafts, and sports.

The Slum Outreach project is primarily for children aged 4-14 years from migrant families living in slums on the outskirts of the city. You will prepare lessons in the morning for about 2 hours. Interact with the children through games and activities to teach them and help them understand the importance of education and developing skills beyond just English. You may join another program in the morning if you wish, as we require you to participate for longer.
