Volunteer Teaching Program in India

by: Volunteering With India

4.8 (5)Since 2009

Many children in India are not able to enroll in schools because of poverty. Their parents cannot afford to send them to school or to buy the needed books. Government schools that do not charge fees are available, but they provide low-quality education. VWI tries to address the issue by providing free education facilities in rural areas and slums in India. More than 80 children attend our centers every day and are provided free refreshments and stationery. Foreign volunteers can help by participating in activities like helping local teachers improve their techniques and method as well as teaching basic Mathematics and English.

Program Highlights

Work on-site at the local education center for rural and slum children.

Get involved in classroom teaching.

Help children and local volunteer teachers improve their pronunciation/spoken English.

Visit the area and talk to parents regarding their children's regular school attendance.

Experience India during excursions and interactions with the local people.

I did the program because it was something I wanted to do for a long time. We had very good pick up at the bus station, perfect transport service, great living accommodations, and very nice and helpful project staff! It was an amazing experience and I would love to repeat something like this. I will miss India and the children very very much.

It will give you a great perspective of reality. My host family is the reason I am coming back and I chose to volunteer with VWI because it looked and was an authentic non profit.

I decided to visit India and researched many companies via their websites. VWI has an excellent website and gives all the relevant information. Communication with Sukret was excellent and the price was reasonable. Food and host family were excellent. I was without hot water or shower facilities all week. I have experienced a fascinating week in Jaipur. The way of life is completely different -- busy, hectic, and noisy. I have seen the problems that exist with poverty, but I am very impressed by the efforts of many people to make things better. My teaching time was very enjoyable -- i loved the children. I take many good memories and new friendships back home.

I worked in the education program, it was my first tour to India. I have never worked as a volunteer abroad before but after a search through the internet I found this organization and I trust on them from the very beginning, my experience was very good and I recommended others to work here.
