Volunteer Teaching: Madagascar

Most people in Madagascar can’t afford to travel, and in villages like Tsararano Ambony, there is little chance of contact with the outside world. You, as a foreign teacher, not only enable the students to form a relationship with someone from a different background and culture, but also the local teachers can learn new and up-to-date teaching methods and techniques from you. You will mainly assist the regular school teachers and therefore - even without a formal teaching background - you can participate in this project.

I felt well prepared and supported throughout my volunteer trip. The local team was amazing, and the students’ eagerness to learn, even during school break, was inspiring. A highlight was hearing kids call my name in the village after class. This experience gave me a renewed sense of gratitude. If you’re thinking about volunteering, do it. You won’t regret it.

Volunteer Teaching in Madagascar

Instruct children of varying ages from rural communities in Nosy Be in fundamental conversational English. You will contribute to the education process by working alongside the faculty at a government-run institution. Additionally, you can offer support in after-school activities, motivating the students to realize their maximum capabilities and expand their horizons through innovatively designed classes.

Volunteer Program

In remote villages like Tsararano Ambony, Madagascar, opportunities for global exposure are limited. As an international educator, you can connect students with diverse backgrounds and cultures, while local teachers learn modern techniques from you. Supporting existing school staff, you'll teach children of various ages and abilities in English and other subjects, using your own materials and methods. Despite higher education being in French and Malagasy, English remains vital for tourism in Nosy Be, making your role essential.
