Teach English to Children on Wonsan Island, Korea

Spend 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, or 12 weeks volunteering at a small public elementary school on Wonsando Island, South Korea. Through English lessons, games, songs, crafts, and cultural activities, you’ll help children learn in fun and engaging ways while sharing your own language, stories, and culture.

You don’t need to be a professional teacher to take part. What matters is your willingness to spend time with the children, share ideas, and help make learning enjoyable. You can bring your own activities, introduce traditions from your home country, and encourage students to feel more comfortable using English. Everyday conversations and shared classroom moments also give you a chance to get to know the children beyond the lessons.

Wonsando offers a quieter side of Korea, with island village life and a close-knit local community. Alongside your time at school, you can experience daily life in a Korean island community and learn about local culture through the people you meet and the routines you share.

With accommodation, orientation, and local support included, you can focus on getting involved in school life and connecting with the community. If you enjoy spending time with children, exchanging cultural experiences, and being part of everyday life in Korea, this program offers a personal way to experience the country while making a positive contribution to students’ learning.
