Program Overview

This teaching program in Buddhist monasteries in Nepal offers a meaningful cultural exchange between international volunteers and young monks and nuns. Volunteers help improve English skills while also learning about Buddhist culture, daily monastic life, and simple teachings of the Dharma. It is a shared learning experience where both volunteers and students gain new knowledge and understanding in a peaceful learning environment. Volunteers support classroom activities by assisting local teachers and helping prepare simple learning materials. They may lead or support conversational English lessons, guide basic computer classes, and take part in group discussions with students. Volunteers are encouraged to share ideas, practice communication, and help create engaging activities that make learning more enjoyable. The role also includes supporting lesson planning when needed and encouraging students to speak with confidence. Through daily interaction, volunteers build strong connections with the monastery community while gaining valuable teaching and cultural experience in Nepal. This program is suitable for volunteers who are open-minded and willing to learn in a cultural setting.
