Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Teaching Volunteer Program in Sri Lanka.

On this program, you will help teach English in temples, monasteries, schools for people with disabilities, preschools and village homes in Kandy.

Volunteers in Kandy are accommodated in a volunteer house. Homestay accommodation is also available in Kandy and is a popular option for couples or older volunteers. This option can be arranged with our local team according to availability.

The program has start dates every Monday throughout the year.

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.
