Whether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)

Volunteer Teaching: Cape Verde

The dramatic landscape of Cape Verde, an archipelago to the west of Africa, only hints at the exhilration of visiting this unique ecoregion. Volcanic in origin and experiencing a milder climate than most of Africa, when visiting Cape Verde you may be lucky enough to spot one of the several animal species only found here! Whichever your choice of package, you will certainly help the local communities - human or otherwise!

Volunteer Teaching: Cape Verde

Join our global team to boost English proficiency and broaden horizons for children in a Cape Verde community. With 290 students and limited resources, your involvement can make a lasting difference. Empower these children, often from single-parent households and large families, to overcome economic challenges and thrive with strong family bonds and an enriched education. Make an impact and have fun doing it!

The Program

Monday-Friday: Engage in lively English-teaching at a kindergarten and primary school using board games, playdough, and coloring. Boost teamwork with games and physical education, explore colors, shapes, numbers, and alphabets. Enhance learning with outdoor activities, short stories, poems, and songs. Share your culture and geography, plan lessons, and maintain a file for smooth handovers. Make learning fun and impactful!
