Program Details

The football project serves as an activity beside the school which encourages students to perform well in class and keep vulnerable children off the streets. Through football we want to keep them motivated and help to create a safe and nurturing environment for the children and youth to flourish.

You will be teaching at the school in the morning different subjects like Maths , Science ,English and physical education together with an assistant teacher and during the evening you will be assisting to train the kids and adults at the local clubs in the football ground. You will assist to train football where the football ground is almost twenty minutes’ walk from the host family.

We ask volunteers to bring some sports equipment like ball, Jezzy, shoes and any other sport equipment that we can use to support the project.

Activities & Shift

You will begin your working day with breakfast with your host family. Once you are ready, you will make your way to your school placement. On your first day of work, a Beyond Child Smile member will accompany you to show you the way to school.

You’ll work at primary schools and different footballs clubs in our community. The schools we partner with are disadvantaged with limited funds. This means you will need to get creative with your physical education classes, as you may not have access to the equipment you’re used to. Furthermore, most schools don’t have the resources to hire a physical education teacher full time. This means that most of the time, children don’t have physical education classes. You will also be assigned to teach other subjects like Mathematics, Science, English, and social studies.
