Mid-term (1 to 6 months) "work with children/teenagers" project in Russia

Minimum 20 days, maximum 3 months.

The Language Club “Ya-Polyglot” develops a variety of educational projects for children and teenagers. One of our projects is a summer language camp which gives children and teenagers an opportunity to have a good rest after the school year and learn foreign languages in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. While in the camp, children and teenagers not only improve their skills of cooperation and team-work, but also learn to overcome language and culture barriers. That is why it is essential that volunteers from a variety of countries participate in the project.

We invite volunteers for the position of a group-leader, a teacher or both.

• organizing culture and sports activities.
• maintaining discipline in the group they are responsible for.
• uniting the kids and teaching them sharing and cooperation.

• teaching a foreign language(s) to children,
• helping in organizing culture and sports activities.

During the camp volunteers stay in the main building with the staff and the children. They will share a room with 1-3 other group leaders/teachers, toilet and shower in the room. Free meals are provided in the camp canteen.
If you stay for 3 months during the breaks between the camps (1 break is 3 days,) you willll be hosted in Samara in a family.
