About Program
Volunteer in Sri Lanka! Join our English Development team to help make a difference by providing English instruction in neighbourhood schools and civic initiatives. Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey with other volunteers from around the globe!
The English Development programme works closely with Sri Lankan schools to develop long-lasting projects that, through teaching and classroom renovations, offer children in the neighbourhood better futures.
Many students in rural schools can understand and speak simple English words, but they lack conversational and comprehension skills. Through hands-on experience in a global educational system, this programme offers volunteers a global perspective and insight into how children develop in various educational environments. Volunteer in local pre-schools, primary schools, after school clubs and help with classroom revamps!
