Volunteer teaching projects overseas

Education is crucial to international development and volunteers teaching abroad can make a real impact.

Education enables people to learn new skills and communicate, giving them greater opportunities in life and benefiting the community in which they live.

By teaching overseas on their career break, our volunteers contribute to improving education in some of the poorest regions of the world. Whether teaching in Africa, Asia or South America, it is an opportunity for individuals to do something meaningful, as they help to tackle illiteracy, poverty, dependency and inequality overseas.

Teaching abroad can be a challenging experience but at the same time it is endlessly rewarding. At Inspire Volunteering we ensure that local communities get the best value out of your skills and that you maximise your contribution and experience.
