General Info

What do volunteers do?
For 15 to 20 hours a week, volunteers lead basic to advanced level English after-school classes for children ages 7 and up. Classes have 12 to 15 children, and volunteers team-teach or lead classes on their own. Classes for children under 14 are usually followed by recreational activities like volleyball and soccer. Volunteers join the activities to have fun and to encourage the children to practice their English in a non-classroom setting.
