Teach Kids and Transform Plastic

Join our unique Plastic for Pencil initiative in North Sulawesi, Indonesia—where your impact stretches from coastal villages to urban innovation labs. As a volunteer, you’ll live by the beach in Kapitu village and teach children about plastic pollution, helping them exchange plastic waste for school supplies. Meanwhile, in the city of Manado, you’ll assist a local community group in transforming compressed plastic waste into useful products like signage, panels, and bins using their own recycling machines. You’ll also support the group in creating SOPs, building digital marketing strategies, and designing sustainable fundraising systems. This is an immersive opportunity to blend grassroots education with eco-innovation, while contributing to real community change.
