Education volunteer programs

Can you believe that there are still kids in this world that don't have the opportunity to go to school? Access to education is expanding worldwide but shockingly, 263 million youth worldwide is still not attending school. This is the equivalent of a quarter of Europe’s population! Political conflict and socio-economic reasons compromise the development and ability of the youth to move ahead in life. Volunteer for education and provide students of the local community with the education they need to move ahead.

Do you have a heart for people and an eagerness to teach? Whether your strengths lie in teaching English, math or sports, you can make a difference. Pack your bags for Africa, Asia, South America or even Europe and head to the schools and projects that are in desperate need of your teaching skills.

Why volunteer for education?

According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 263 million young ones worldwide are still deprived of a proper education to this day. 61 million children are missing out on primary school, 60 million aren’t attending lower secondary school, and a whopping 142 million are failing to attend any classes in upper secondary school.

Kids in many cultures are deprived of secondary school because they have reached the legal working age and are counted on to support their families. Countries in Sub Saharan Africa have the highest rates of exclusion in the entire world and girls are still more likely to miss out on an education than boys. The main reason for children to remain absent from school is that they are living in conflict-affected areas in which interests are other than educational development.

Basic education and English skills have become the ticket to the future and independence. People lacking an education and general educational development are unlikely to progress in life as the requirements and expectations of employers are continuously becoming more demanding. Add to that the constant change in technology which leaves those who are untrained with poor prospects. Unfortunately, this is the fate that awaits the majority of the population of developing countries.

The developing world is blessed with an excellent education, fluent English-speaking skills, and reputable schools. Are you convinced you have a duty to teach those who are less fortunate? Take a look at more than 350 volunteer teaching opportunities. Volunteer for education and become a crucial part of leading youth towards a promising future.

What will I do as a volunteer for education?

Volunteer for education abroad and play an important role in the lives of children and young adults in developing areas. Activities will depend on the project but they all require efforts to teach the youth. There are more than 350 different programs abroad that need your assistance. These range from programs focused on teaching English to school students, assisting in primary school classes, teaching various school subjects, sports and so much more. Students from Africa to South America are waiting for your teaching support to learn more.

Although it’s not always required, some programs prefer volunteers who have teaching experience. Most schools and organizations are thankful for all helping hands willing to teach local children and young adults. Volunteers who are eager to work with those less fortunate will find exactly what they are looking for. There are projects out there with excellent reviews. Continue reading to find out more about the different focus areas:

English teaching

Most of us will agree that English continues to be a very important global language. Those lacking English skills tend to lag behind and miss out on career opportunities. The majority of the population in developed countries usually speak English fluently. This means most volunteers speak English well enough to teach children or young adults the basics of the English language. Volunteers with teaching experience can count on a huge number of organizations waiting for English language support. Even those without teaching experience will find a community that will welcome them with open arms if they are eager to learn.

Primary school

Many schools simply lack resources to teach important subjects and are unable to provide children the basics of math, geography, science and information technology. As our world is becoming increasingly more technical, students without a firm base and a lack of IT skills don’t stand a chance in our high-tech environment. If you feel like you have it in you to teach, don’t hesitate and get ready for an unforgettable adventure.

Special needs

Sports is an excellent way for children to engage in a constructive way and channel their energy. It has proven helpful in keeping children off the streets and develops values like dedication, teamwork, and focus. Volunteers eager to share their sports skills will find a great number of interesting volunteer programs in the most enchanting destinations. Dedicate your time to teaching children sports ranging from soccer to surfing and get ready to have a blast.

Youth teaching

Volunteers who want to learn how to be a mentor or a coach will find their calling in a project focused on teaching youth. Tasks can vary from teaching certain school subjects, helping youth become more tech savvy to creating awareness about their health. Activities will differ according to the needs of the community. The youth is the future but they are also the most vulnerable group in society. Play an influential role in these kids’ lives and guide them toward a better future.

Business skills

Teach young adults practical business skills to create opportunities that generate personal income. Volunteers who have an affinity with business can bring across important business insights to those determined to set up their own business.

Education Internships

Students studying to become a teacher can combine their studies with international work experience by doing an internship abroad. Take a look at the different volunteer opportunities and education internships that will lead to study credits. Working abroad will give you a new perspective and teach you things you will never learn from a textbook. Take this opportunity to differentiate yourself from others through a life-changing experience. Contribute to those in need as you pave your path to a brighter future. No matter what you want to teach, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities available that will make motivating internships.

A typical day as a volunteer for education

Depending on the project focus, your days will vary greatly. Most programs are based at a school or community center and require volunteers to be flexible and help out where it is most needed. Here are a few tasks that you will face as a volunteer:

  • Helping teachers and staff of the volunteer project
  • Preparing lessons
  • Teaching lessons to students
  • Speaking English with students
  • Helping with homework
  • 1-on-1 tutoring during or after lessons
  • Connecting and spending time with the students
  • Organizing games and activities for students

Most programs will expect volunteers to work a set number of hours a day, similar to a school day. After their work day, volunteers are free to explore their surroundings. Teaching programs will often give you the weekend off so you’ll be free to travel, learn more about the culture and make the most of your adventure abroad. Destinations in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe are at the tips of your fingers.

Who can volunteer in education?

You may wonder if you are cut out to be a volunteer. We have listed a few personality traits which are great to have as a volunteer for education programs:

  • a social mindset
  • teaching skills or interest in teaching
  • passion for working with children/youth
  • empathy
  • a good work ethic
  • the ability to work as part of a team
  • great communication skills
  • adaptability to different types of tasks
  • problem-solving ability
  • willingness to learn
  • enthusiasm
  • resilience
  • a non-judgmental approach and respect for diversity
  • great cultural awareness
  • a professional attitude to work
  • a strong regard for health and safety
  • eagerness to travel abroad
  • dedication

What language skills are required?

English is the main language in all programs so it’s important that volunteers have a good understanding of the English language. This is important to communicate with the staff at the project center and other volunteers. For programs in South America, it’s useful if you have a basic knowledge of Spanish prior to going as most locals don’t speak any English. Knowing some Spanish words will kickstart your volunteer adventure and save you valuable time.

Best places to volunteer for education

Are you excited yet? You’re probably wondering where in the world this adventure will take you. There are over 350 volunteer programs focused on different types of education. The areas most deprived are situated in developing countries. Let’s take a closer look at what volunteering for education may have in store for you:

Caribbean

Volunteers who have always wanted to experience the island life can head to the Caribbean where there are several organizations and schools dedicated to providing youth and adults with the education they lack. Grab your swimwear for after classes and get yourself ready to teach!

South America

South American countries like Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Brazil foster countless projects for adventurous teaching volunteers who are eager to brush up on their Spanish. Disadvantaged locals in South America are waiting for you to teach them. Get ready to explore some of the most breathtaking landscapes and give back to the local community.

Africa

Sub Saharan Africa has seemingly endless teaching opportunities for volunteers who are dedicated to making a difference where their help is needed most. Countries like Ghana are well represented as are Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa. Discover the real side of Africa and apply your teaching skills where they are sorely missed.

Asia

Volunteers who have lost their hearts to Asia will always find volunteer opportunities in India and various South East Asian countries where there’s an enormous demand for English teachers. Allow yourself to be humbled by Asian hospitality while you provide locals with the education they desperately need.

Europe

Volunteers who prefer sticking to developed regions, no need to despair. There are options out there for you too. Several communities in developed regions rely on organizations for help and support. The need for teachers is especially high in South and Eastern Europe where English speaking skills are poor. Pack your bags and head to one of the English language schools in some of the fascinating European countries.

Top 5 benefits of volunteering for education

There’s no doubt that volunteering in itself is a fantastic thing to do. By volunteering abroad for education, you are providing locals with the most important aspect of their future development. Schools in developing countries are constantly lacking resources to teach local children and will welcome enthusiastic volunteers with open arms. Let’s take a look at the benefits you will encounter once you decide to volunteer for education:

1. Mutual Learning Opportunities

You will help with educational progress by teaching at a rural school but you will be surprised by how much the experience will teach you.

Life experiences like this provide valuable baggage that can prove helpful in the future. Volunteer for education and watch how you become a stronger individual.

5. Health Improvements
