Location
Culverden, South Island
Accommodation
Accommodation is shared in a fully furnished house with the other volunteer and a staff member. It is walking distance to the school. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. Meals are self-catered with funds supplied by the project.
Child Protection
Please note that you will be required to sign ICYE’s policy Care to Engage on Safeguarding Children.
Volunteer Tasks
Provide one-on-one support for children with learning difficulties, assist teachers in the classroom with literacy and numeracy, assist children with special needs, supervise school sport, schoolyard duty, and more.
Volunteer Requirements
Volunteers need to have a love of the outdoors and people, especially children. You will be working one on one or with small groups of students aged between 5 and 18. The community is small and located rurally, so a Driver’s License and the ability to purchase your own car (or share costs with the other volunteer) is highly preferred. This is a 6-month placement with the possibility of an extension to 12-months
