Volunteers can choose to work in local schools, or travel to a Waldorf school, to act as English teacher’s assistants. Volunteers will assist the teacher in a variety of capacities, such as leading activities, helping with homework, and spending one-on-one time with students. Volunteers spend the day working to form bonds with the youth, teaching classes in English, organizing recreational activities, and assisting with daily chores. Volunteers must have at least high-beginner German language skills. Volunteers need to be creative, patient, and able to work independently as well as in a group setting. Volunteers generally work 4-7 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Volunteer’s exact schedule will be determined upon arrival in-country.

Volunteers will assist at a center aiming to teach youths under 25 vocational and life skills that will help them to find work and be responsible adults. Volunteers are primarily needed to teach remedial English, but are more than welcome to help lead workshops or classes focusing on a variety of related issues. The center stresses the importance of English language knowledge and asks that volunteers only speak English while at the center. Volunteers must be creative and flexible, and be able to create a trusting relationship with the students. Each program is based on the volunteer’s area of interest, the needs of organizations, and volunteer's language skills. Volunteers generally work 4-7 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Volunteer’s exact schedule will be determined upon arrival in-country. Volunteers for this program must commit to a minimum of 4 weeks, and have intermediate German Speaking abilities.

Volunteers are needed to work, play and care for infants and toddlers throughout the city. Volunteers will spend time with children in a fun setting, and help out with a variety of educational and developmental activities. You’ll work with children who come from a wide range of family backgrounds. Any sort of organized activity is great ways to help these young children learn new skills that will help them succeed when they enter primary education. If you have a special interest (such as painting, music, gardening, soccer, etc) you can always incorporate those in some way to your activities at the orphanages. What might seem plain to you can be really exciting to them! Volunteers need to be creative, patient, and flexible. Exact schedules and tasks will be determined upon arrival and meeting with the center’s staff. Volunteers must have at least high-beginner German language skills.
