Education & English Teaching

Empower through language. Inspire through learning.

Teach, Learn, and Connect

Education is one of the most powerful tools for change, and you can be part of that transformation. Our Education & English Teaching programs place volunteers in schools, community centres, and informal learning spaces to help increase access to quality education in underserved communities. Make a meaningful impact by helping students build confidence, improve communication skills, and expand their future opportunities through education. 

Whether you’re a qualified teacher, a TEFL graduate, a student, or simply passionate about education, our placements give you the opportunity to teach abroad while gaining hands-on classroom experience, cultural insight, and a deeper understanding of global education challenges.

As a volunteer teacher abroad, you’ll work alongside dedicated local educators to deliver fun, engaging lessons that strengthen literacy, confidence, and real-world skills for children, teens, or adults. These programs are ideal for volunteers who want to empower communities through education while developing their own teaching abilities.

You don’t need to be a qualified teacher, just a passion for learning, a creative mindset, and the willingness to step in where support is needed most. You’ll help improve English literacy, boost confidence, and create engaging lessons that leave a lasting impact.

Why Education Matters

Across Africa, many schools have limited resources, high class sizes, and few English teachers. Volunteers help provide critical support that boosts literacy, builds student confidence, and improves long-term opportunities for young people.

Your contribution strengthens both the classroom and the community.
