Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, on the Childcare project in Kathmandu or Pokhara. You will have the opportunity to assist in early childhood education in the beautiful Nepalese city of Pokhara or in early childhood education centers in and around Kathmandu. Volunteers gain childcare experience while contributing to the local community by offering extra fun, educational activities and care for young children.

Both locations offer start dates on the first and third Monday of the month throughout the year.

While volunteer schedules depend on the particular projects and placements, a typical day might look like this:

7:30 AM Breakfast at the homestay.
8:00 AM Volunteers leave home and travel to their placements. There is usually a tea break and a lunch break.
2:00 - 5:00 PM Work at the placement usually ends. Volunteers are free to travel back to the volunteer house, go sightseeing, or do some shopping.
7:00 - 9:00 PM Dinner at the homestay.

Weekends are left for free time and exploration.

This program ranges from 1-12 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. For both locations, on arrival in Nepal, volunteers stay in a local hotel in Kathmandu for their two-day orientation. Volunteers are then accommodated together in homestays and hosted by local families who have been approved by our program staff.
