School Project: Assistant Teacher (Andes Peru)
Education is everything: Help us as an Assistant Teacher in Peru!
Volungo Abroad is looking for volunteers to support four schools in the Peruvian Andes that provide flexible and inclusive learning for children. In Peru, public education is free for children aged 7-16 years old, however there are still significant barriers to learning for many, particularly students from families with little income as children often have to work in the daytime. Our partner schools hold morning, afternoon, and evening classes in order to ensure that those children who need to work to help support their families can still access education. We teach English and other subjects that offer the children a chance for a brighter future.
​
This is your opportunity to become a volunteer teaching assistant!
