Volunteering in SII was a total pleasure. the school is well organized, the host and staff were incredibly kind and I got the chance to make wonderful friends from all over the world! Their volunteering system works perfectly and its ideal for travelers that want to meet locals, foreigners and explore around Istanbul. I want to thank everyone around this amazing project, this really was a beautiful experience that exceeded my expectations ✨ Hope we can work together again in the future! With no doubt one of the best volunteerings I did in Turkey. 100% recommended

I love teaching and connecting with people - that's why I chose SII for one more volunteering season the school. As I said before, the apartment is easy to feel at home in, and the connection with the students is priceless. Once again, I'll be extending my stay here - which says a lot about how much I enjoy this experience. I can only recommend this place to those who love socializing and connecting with Turkish culture and people.

I had an amazing time the school thanks to the school. The work was pretty easy, mainly just talking to students and getting them to talk to each other. After a while, a lot of the students became my friends, and we would even get together outside of school. Also you get to pick the brains of your students for all the best places to visit the school. I highly recommend — thanks again to everyone for a great time. Feel free to message me with any questions :)

Olcay and his team are fantastic people that you can make memorable connections with. The volunteering is very generous and has ideal work hours and conditions! The students are also amazing, it's a great place to practice teaching and meet people. I would be easily tempted to find an excuse to return.
