Volunteers on the teaching program in Kenya assist with the teaching of different subjects in Kenyan elementary and high schools. Volunteer teachers can teach mathematics, science, geography, social sciences, history, business education, English, art and music. Volunteer teachers are not required to have teaching experience. Our volunteers work in schools with students who come from very difficult economic circumstances or are orphans.
Please note that Kenyan school holidays are in April, August and November 15 – January 3rd. No school teaching will be available during that period.
