Program Details

**programm:**
The Evening School (संध्या पाठशाला) is an alternative, skill-first learning sanctuary based in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, India. We are breaking away from rigid rote learning to give curious young students (Grades 1st–8th) hands-on exposure to practical technology, creative arts, and global perspectives on an open green campus.

How the Program Works

We believe in educational tourism and mutual cultural exchange. You do not need to be a certified educator or follow a strict curriculum—your presence, stories, and enthusiasm are what inspire our children the most.

Creative & Skill Sharing: Share whatever you are passionate about—languages, global geography, basic art, music, storytelling, sports, or digital creativity.

Interactive Mentorship: Assist children during their interactive sessions in our open-air green tech campus and computer lab.

Conversational English & Worldview: Help students gain confidence in spoken English and introduce them to different global cultures through informal conversations.

Community & Cultural Immersion: Experience authentic rural and semi-urban Indian life, local festivals, home-cooked food, and community traditions.

Who We Are Looking For

Open-minded travelers, creatives, students, and professionals who love interacting with children.

A passion for grassroots community impact and cultural exchange.

No technical background required; positive energy, empathy, and curiosity are all you need!


Activities & Shift

Daily Routine & Volunteer Schedule

Commitment: 3 to 5 hours per day (typically from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM), Monday to Saturday.

Mornings & Weekends: Completely free for you to explore local heritage, relax, travel to nearby cultural sites, or experience rural nature.
