About this position

Overview: Volunteer - Teaching in Arusha, Tansania

For the volunteering work no previous knowledge is required but you should have good English skills. Just be open-minded to children from different cultural and religious backgrounds, have patience and be prepared to discuss with other teachers on various teaching methods.

What to expect

Description: Volunteer - Teaching in Arusha, Tansania

If you want to share your knowledge with children in need, your help will be very appreciated in Arusha. Whether you are a teacher, educator or student, or just a person who likes working with children, there are many schools who are happy about your support. 

Depending on your interests and skills, you can teach English, sports, music, art, geography or other subjects. Sometimes the children are supervised when doing their homework after school or some different sports programs are offered. 

As there are many orphans and children from a disadvantaged background  you will be asked to show your social skills - you will often need a friendly ear especially when you are discussing with parents.

Itinerary of your stay abroad

Volunteer abroad program

Start date of project

The volunteer projects run throughout the year. Therefore, we are open for your individual suggestion, which we are going to propose to our partner organisation.

Time of arrival

We recommend to arrange an arrival a few days prios to the start of the volunteer project. You can move in to your guest family up to 3 days before the official project start at no additional costs. You then have enough time to recover from the long flight, get to know your host family and make your first trips.

Arrival at the Airport

Arriving in a new country is always exciting. We want your arrival to be as relaxed as possible. One of the staff members of our partner organization will pick you up at the airport and bring you to your host family or your shared flat. He/she will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign with your name on it. If you cannot find a flight at the desired date, don’t worry. You can choose another one a few days earlier or later.

Orientation program

Within the first days of your arrival one of the team members of our partner organisation will pick you up and show you around. You will get to know the country and its people and you will be informed about Do’s and Dont’s. The program will be held with more volunteers at the same time. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know like-minded globetrotters. Your local contact person will provide you with further useful hints for a good starting point into a new lifestyle.

The project starts

On the first day of your project, you are usually accompanied by a member of our local partner who will answer all of your questions. The further project days your local contact person will always be available for you via phone if you have any concerns or issues to share with somebody.

Free time & weekend

The weekend is totally yours! You may ask your local contact person from our partner organisation about upcoming events, sights, shopping tips or other must see’s. On some days there will be field trips organized by our partner organization. We recommend you to join them as it is always fun to experience a new country with others. 

Departure

You shall contact your local contact person a few days prior to your departure to inform about options for your airport drop-off. It will not be included in the services of the volunteer projects, but our expert will help you organize it.
