The need for English-speaking volunteers in Indonesia is higher than ever. While children may receive some English instruction at school, it is typically delivered by local teachers, which means they have limited opportunities to practice conversational English or listen to native speakers. Although you have the flexibility to choose what you teach, a general syllabus is provided, along with examples from past volunteers to help guide your sessions.

The main goal of this project is to make learning English enjoyable and engaging for students. Volunteers are encouraged to use creative teaching approaches—such as games, songs, art, sports, and music—to keep lessons fun and interactive. If you’re new to teaching, you might prefer to partner with another volunteer. Working in pairs or small groups can help boost your confidence and keep the class focused, especially as students’ excitement can sometimes become quite lively!

Please note that the weekly teaching plan is finalised every Friday. You’ll be involved in the project for around 4 hours each day.

Lombok is a beautiful island in Indonesia, located just east of Bali, known for its stunning beaches, clear blue waters, and laid-back vibe. Less crowded than its famous neighbor, Lombok offers a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for those looking to escape the tourist buzz. The island is home to the majestic Mount Rinjani, Indonesia’s second-highest volcano, which attracts hikers from around the world. With vibrant local culture, charming villages, and excellent surfing and diving spots, Lombok is an ideal destination for adventure and tranquility alike.

• To assist local schools by supporting children with basic English lessons

• Engaging in play, and providing care and attention through fun, interactive activities.

*PLEASE NOTE: All participants for the Education, Teaching, Construction, and Turtle Conservation projects, are required to apply for a C6 Social Cultural visa prior to arrival. Participants who have a Visa On Arrival or an E-Visa on Arrival will not be able to participate in these projects. Participants who only attend the culture, adventure, and yoga weeks will be accepted to join the programs with a Visa on Arrival. Going through an online agency or via our local team is the easiest way to obtain the visa. 

  **Exceptions to the C6 visa

Participants can join any program with a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for the following program types:

• 1-week culture week, plus 1 to 3 week volunteer program
• 1-week volunteer program

However, it is important to highlight that participants using a VOA must put 'tourism' for reason of visit.

We still encourage volunteers to arrive with a C6 visa for all programs. Please note that obtaining and using a VOA is entirely the participant's responsibility. We cannot be held accountable for any issues or concerns arising from this, as we are obligated to recommend the appropriate visa type for participants joining volunteering projects.
