Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the
Teaching Volunteer Project in South Africa.
On this program, you will gain teaching experience assisting local teachers and working with students in entry-level classes. Schools in low-income communities often have too few teachers and there is little chance for students to get individual attention, so volunteers provide valuable help creating an all-round better learning environment.
You’ll stay in volunteer houses and can expect to share a room with one to five other volunteers.
The program has
start dates on the first and third Monday of the month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 1-24 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
