Join Global Volunteers teaching Conversational English to Children and Youth on the picturesque island of Sicily, Italy.

Local leaders believe learning English is necessary for their children’s and young adults’ future success in a globalized world and an increasingly integrated Europe. The demand is high for English-speaking volunteers in the region. You can be a valuable resource in Castelvetrano, where young people must learn and practice this critical skill to get ahead. On a typical day, you create lesson plans from standard curriculum texts and our Conversational English Teaching Guide, engaging small groups of kindergarten, elementary, middle, or high school students in games and diverse interactive activities. In addition to experiencing the daily pleasures of ‘la dolce vita’ – the sweet life – you can enjoy one of the most memorable experiences of your lifetime.

Volunteers help different NGOs promote extracurricular educational initiatives, design new activities, and support existing ones. They also teach new sports, cultures, languages, and more.

What to expect: • Plan and lead extracurricular activities. • Assist children with their homework. • Teach new sports, cultures, languages, and other skills. Daily tasks: • Create and implement new activities. • Assist with homework and study sessions. • Teach arts, crafts, sports, and other activities. • Help children develop English language skills.
