Even a short visit can create meaningful memories for both you and our students.

Program Details
As a Worldpacker in our home, you’ll join a warm homeschooling family in Malang where learning, culture, and community come together. We expect volunteers who are kind, open-minded, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. Your main role is to support our daughters’ learning through simple English conversations, creative activities, and sharing your own skills — whether in music, art, sports, storytelling, or any area you’re passionate about.
You may also help with relaxed English sessions for neighborhood kids or small community activities. No teaching experience is required; just patience, initiative, and a willingness to engage in fun, meaningful interactions.
In return, you’ll experience true local life. Our family offers a welcoming, safe, and friendly environment where you’ll feel included in daily routines, cultural experiences, and family activities. Your days will be flexible, with plenty of personal time to explore Malang’s nature, food, and cultural sites.
We value mutual respect, clear communication, and a positive spirit. If you love connecting with children, learning about culture, and being part of a supportive family atmosphere, you’ll feel right at home with us.
Activities & Shift
Daily Activities (flexible checklist):
Casual English conversation with our daughters
Supporting homeschool projects (arts, crafts, reading, simple science)
Playing music, drawing, or sharing your personal skills
Light help during neighborhood kids’ English sessions
Joining family walks, small outings, or cultural activities
Simple household teamwork related to the kids’ activities only
We follow a relaxed, family-style schedule.
Volunteers usually help 2–3 hours per day, divided between morning or afternoon depending on your comfort. There is no strict timetable — activities are planned together based on your skills, energy, and our children’s routine.
You’ll always have plenty of free time to explore Malang, rest, or enjoy your own activities. Our home environment is flexible, warm, and focused on meaningful interaction rather than structured work.

Please be respectful of our family routine and the children’s safety at all times.
No smoking, drugs, or alcohol inside the house or during activities with kids.
Please keep shared spaces clean and tidy after use.
Be punctual and communicate if you need to adjust your schedule.
We value kindness, patience, and a positive attitude in all interactions.
