Volunteers will be teaching 5 days a week having Saturday, Sunday, and Public Holidays off. Most of the pupils at our private school have a good command of English yet they may need to practice it further
All international flights land in Zanzibar City. If your flight takes you into Dar es Salaam rather than to Zanzibar, you can opt to take a ferry or flight to the island.
After you have booked and confirmed your placement, please book your flights to arrive at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar. A member of staff will meet you on arrival at Airport. This airport services numerous international carriers. Zanzibar has good connections to destinations throughout the Middle East, Europe, the Asia- Pacific region, USA and Africa.
Orientation and placement will be done the next day. The volunteer guest house will be your base for volunteering while living in Zanzibar.
By becoming our teaching volunteer, you will get involved in a complete range of teaching and development activities in Zanzibar. If you’re a native English speaker or if you already had some teaching experience, you will surely be a valuable resource in the classrooms.
Your English skills will allow you to teach proper pronunciation and language usage. The currently opened volunteer placements are for teaching children aged 4-7 years old.
During the first week, a local teacher will assist you to conduct classes and solve language barrier issues if any. When the children become familiar with you, you will then be able to run classes independently. As all private and public schools have worked-out curriculums, you can either follow the official Tanzanian curriculum or apply your own skills.
If you have any additional skills like teaching games, music, painting, singing, dancing, yoga, martial arts, etc., you are most welcome and encouraged to apply them in practice.
The application process is not complicated, and volunteers do not need to apply a long time in advance. CR HOPE Foundation gives you the support you need to take the hassle out of arranging your volunteering adventure in Zanzibar.
Our volunteer programs in Zanzibar give you the chance to experience a different culture whilst contributing towards a worthy teaching, community, conservation, or sports initiative.
Just send us an email and we’ll be happy to help!
