Volunteer teaching in South Africa is a useful and noble way to spend a summer, a few months, or even a whole year! As a volunteer teacher, you’ll be helping kids or adults gain English skills that they may otherwise be unable to afford, but need nonetheless. With so many economies dependent on the English language nowadays, you’ll be setting these language-learners up for success on the global stage, giving them a more competitive edge.

I felt incredibly supported throughout my volunteering journey with Volunteer HQ. As my first solo trip, I couldn’t have chosen a better experience. From sign-up to the final day, everything was well-organized. My program manager was always available to help, and the local team made sure I felt safe and welcomed. I was fully immersed in the culture and made unforgettable memories. A truly amazing and enriching experience—I’d highly recommend it to anyone considering volunteering abroad.
