Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Teaching English Volunteering Project in Italy.

On this program, you will assist a local NGO with their efforts to upskill children and adults, some of whom come from underprivileged communities in Rome. Volunteers will gain experience teaching while sharing valuable English language skills with different age groups, including toddlers, children and teenagers. Knowing how to speak English can open many doors and provide opportunities for people to continue education or gain secure employment.

Volunteers are accommodated in a central camping lodge in Rome. You can expect to share a room with one other volunteer of the same gender.

The program has start dates the second and fourth Monday of every month throughout the year.

This program ranges from 2-12 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.
 
As a Teaching English volunteer, you can expect to work with a local NGO providing access to education for these groups. You will help with structuring the education programming according to the needs of the individuals who attend as well as the objectives of the NGO you are going to support. You should plan to lead lessons and educational activities for students who range in ability. English is by far the most common language being taught but if you are fluent in another language, and there is interest from locals to learn it, you may also be able to teach that.

Depending on the students you are assigned, the focus of your lessons will change:

• With children and youth, you can alternate theoretical lessons with recreational and/or sports activities in English, such as songs, fairytales, outdoor games and other activities, while assisting with daily routines, lunch and snacks
• With adults, you will focus on vocabulary to assist in a certain sector such as tourism, administration, health, and more, depending on their professional or personal needs
• With the elderly, you can have fun teaching them basic vocabulary and creating handcraft activities or other projects that make them feel active, loved, and useful in their community.
