Volunteer in our favorite tropical island paradise, Zanzibar! This is an awesome project if you:

Believe education is key in ensuring a successful future for children
Would love to teach subjects like English, French, Arabic, Mathematics, Sciences, Geography, and more
Are eager to assist local teachers on the outskirts of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

The placement is at a school with around 200 students, approximately 30 in each class. The age groups comprise 5-7 for nursery, 7-14 for primary, and 15-18 for high school. Assembly takes place in the morning and classes start at 7:30 am and finish at 2:00 pm. Volunteers receive guidance from the teachers based on the school's and state’s syllabus and curriculum.

Children in Zanzibar start learning English at 4 years old in nursery school. With the island's strong tourism industry, learning foreign languages is a priority.

You don't need teaching qualifications or certifications to volunteer in this project. However, you must present a criminal background check as you'll be assisting vulnerable children. You can stay in the program for 3 weeks or longer (subject to visa requirements).
