Our volunteers come from all over the world, the only requirements being the ability to speak English, coupled with a keen interest to help. To Join any of our projects, we do not require any certificate or any experience, or even require being a native speaker.  However, we do require that you speak English to an advanced level, with a clear accent and we are looking for are people of all ages, from any country, who have a desire to help Lao people.

In return, teaching volunteers will find that our Lao students are eager and hard-working and a true delight to get to know. While working with our students, you’ll witness progress and celebrate both big and small victories together. You’ll gain valuable teaching and tutoring experience and will often find yourself learning as much as your students! You will gain insight into the Lao culture and volunteers often develop lasting friendships with our students. Many also have opportunities get to know their families as well.
Having the opportunity to support and influence the lives of these students is a privilege and makes for a truly meaningful, memorable, and enjoyable experience for our volunteers.
