Program Details

Your role is to improve the education of the students at Happy Hearts for the long term by training the Happy Hearts teachers as well as working with the students. When teachers are better equipped, the students will receive a better-quality education and the benefit is long-term. Since the teachers are volunteers, upskilling them is a small reward for their commitment to Happy Heart Organisation.

If you are interested in working with us then we would love to hear from you. We do ask that you tell us about your relvent skills or experiences which you think can help us work towards our vision. We also ask that you read through our volunteer PDF before applying, as this goes into detail about the full experience.

Activities & Shift

As we are an after-school education centre children won't start arriving until around 3pm. During the morning there may be some tasks for you to carry out e.g general maintenance of the school. At around 3pm the students will start to arrive and will be very keen to play games with you and practise their English by asking you many questions!

Classes start at 4pm, when you arrive we will tell you what class you would be the best fit for depending on your experience. For further information on acvtivies and what a day in the life at HHO looks like, please refer to our volunteer PDF on our website.
