Volunteering

Change lives, including your own

Some of the world’s poorest people have an insatiable thirst for knowledge but find education systems failing them. VSO aims to change this. Qualified and experienced teachers, who have never really lost their aim to make an impact are sought to share their skills in some of the world’s most beautiful places such as The Maldives, Rwanda, and Nepal to help train and support local education experts.

Sharing your skills means that you can have a dramatic effect on the way they teach, learn and progress. So the school or region where you are based can start to strengthen their education infrastructure.

Volunteers live in the areas where they work so you will get the chance to really immerse yourself in another culture. But be prepared, you could find your ideas being challenged as you become more independent. Volunteering is not for the fainthearted – but this could be the most exciting and challenging time of your career.

In the next 12 months, we need to send over 200 education volunteers to go and live and work in Africa and Asia. You can see a small sample of some of the jobs that you could be doing with us below.

If you are ready to volunteer, please call us today on 020 8780 7500 to get an application pack. Alternatively you can apply online now.
