Volunteering Tour Selection Trips
- When selecting a volunteering trip, do your research carefully, and make sure that the organization you volunteer with really benefits the community, as well as creating an enjoyable experience for you.
- Think about what work you'd enjoy doing, not just about where you want to go. If you enjoy teaching English, great, but if not, there are plenty of other options to choose from.
- Remember, volunteering can (and should) be hard work. If you want to make a real difference, be prepared to put in the effort and hours that you would put into your job back home. Needless to say, seeing the results of your effort makes it all worth it.
- Different organizations offer different levels of support, so ask questions before you book. Will accommodation be provided? Will you be working with other volunteers? Will transport be arranged in advance? If this is your first extended trip abroad, or if you're going alone, you may want to choose an organization that places you with other volunteers and provides a higher level of support.
- Don't expect outpourings of gratitude. Just because you're a volunteer doesn't mean your students won't act up, customers won't complain, or you won't be given menial tasks to do.
- Speaking English isn't the only requirement to be a good English teacher. Consider doing a TEFL course to improve your teaching skills, and be sure to set time aside to create fun and engaging lesson plans.
- Try to learn some of the local language, even if most of your interactions will be in English.
