Volunteer in Uganda Africa - Community School Project

Save to Favorites

Teaching and interacting with Children.

You do not have to be a qualified or experienced teacher to join the project, and you are sure to receive a warm welcome from the local schools we work with who are eager to have our volunteers. Whether you want to volunteer abroad by teaching during your gap year, career break, or vacation you will have a role to play, and your efforts will make a lasting impact.

The teaching placement is in kindergarten, lower grades and primary schools in Kampala, the capital of Uganda and other central Regions like mukono and wakiso districts. Volunteers with personal experience in special education can also bring their skills and initiatives to bear as they help create lesson plans and activities for their unique lessons. You will as well gain hands-on experience and have lots of fun working in this project.

Your valuable role as a teaching volunteer will make a significant impact on the lives of children in local schools with limited resources; help build their confidence and individual potential outside the classroom. Volunteers will receive support from the organization staff and the local school teachers regarding the lesson plans and teaching curriculum. All of our placement schools welcome volunteers who express interest in other aspects of school activities like sports, drama, arts and music.

As a volunteer on this project, you will work from Monday to Friday for seven hours in a day, with weekends off so you can explore your new community, visit some beautiful Ugandan attractions and explore nearby areas. You are welcome to bring along teaching materials such as picture books, instruments, flash cards, art supplies, and songs. Classes are generally in session
