Project Summary

What is the Family Volunteering: Childhood Development and Education in India project all about?

With an ever-increasing population and a lack of funding, Indian early education centres and schools often struggle to keep the children there. In some cases, there is not enough place for the children due to a limited number of teachers. In other cases, teachers, burdened by other government requirements like managing records, mid-day meals, census work, etc., prevent them from running bigger classes or even making lessons’ plans.

A poor educational environment tends to discourage the children to go to school, ultimately contributing to other long-term issues such as a decrease in self-esteem. 
In addition, some children stop going to school because of corporal punishments given if they don’t complete their homework, or because the parents need them to generate an income for the family instead.


Why choose this Childhood Development & Education project?

Families’ volunteers will be able to assist early ages education centres and schools with their current needs, depending on the location of the project. With the help of the volunteers caring for the children, the teachers have more time to prepare lesson plans and teach the children the curriculum. Volunteers also have the opportunity to contribute to preparing lessons’ plans and provide an emotional support that children would not have otherwise.


Role of the Teaching & Community Volunteer

The vast majority of tasks will consist of supporting teaching, creating learning materials, supporting meals and personal hygiene, encouraging motor skills development and language development (based on the age of the children). You will also be responsible for playing with the children. Through play and interaction, it will give them a knowledge and understanding of the world that they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to.


What skills do I need to be a Teaching & Community Volunteer in India?

No special skills are required for this placement, although, experience in teaching or early childhood would be beneficial. Also, it is necessary to be loving, patient, flexible and have a lot of enthusiasm to motivate the kids.
