Volunteers will support our community school by helping with English, maths, poetry, music, reading, games and other educational activities. You can also share your own skills and experiences with the children. We welcome kind, patient and compassionate volunteers who enjoy working with children. Previous teaching experience is helpful but not essential. Volunteers may also support creative activities, sports and community projects. If you have fundraising ideas or skills that could support the school, they are warmly appreciated.
Volunteers will normally help for around 3–4 hours per day, Monday to Friday, with a lunch break. Activities may include supporting lessons, reading, games, music, creative activities and other school projects. Weekends are free for volunteers to rest, explore Nairobi or take trips.
Please treat the children, teachers, staff and community with kindness and respect. Volunteers should be patient, responsible and respectful of local culture. Please follow school rules, maintain appropriate boundaries with children and keep the school environment safe and positive.
