Join us for our sixth annual Literacy Outreach program in rural Kenya. We read stories perform puppet shows and organize related art activities for students in rural Kenya elementary schools. Volunteers will interact with students and also have time to explore rural Kenya.
Volunteers should love books and kids and be willing to complete orientation and training both before travel and onsite, but do not need to have formal teaching experience or training.
