Voluntary Positions Yearoutindia plans to support the Avala UP School by providing assistance in the way of Volunteer Teachers through its Reach & Teach programs. The volunteers will be able to assist at the school by teaching the children various subjects including spoken English, Arts & Crafts, Drama etc or any other subject depending on the school's needs and volunteer's interests. You can help with the training and daycare facilities or help host staff conduct recreational activities, teach classes and serve meals. Besides enabling them to interact with someone from a different culture, it will be a wonderful and rare opportunity for children to learn new skills often beyond their present financial, social and educational constraints. We are also attempting to raise much needed funds for these community development projects and volunteers on the Reach and Teach programs are encouraged to undertake these if their timetable permits. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help in repairing and renovating the existing infrastructure of the school and also contributing/helping in installing a much needed water purification and pipe system etc. To enable a sense of continuity, we request our volunteers to commit to a minimum of 4 weeks. This will help the children get used to you and also enable you to settle into the school community. We have a maximum of two volunteer places available at any one time at the school. These can be extended according to the needs of the children and the availability and skills of the individual volunteer.

These can be extended according to the needs of the children and the availability and skills of the individual volunteer. You'll usually teach about four hours a day, Monday through Friday, and have 2 hours each day to collaborate with the staff and prepare for classes. The rest of the day is for free time. Please apply early. The location being remote, volunteers will need to be resourceful, flexible, adventurous, patient and above all have a big heart to work with these children. Please note that teaching schedules are planned taking into consideration the current timetable of the school and teaching volunteers must be flexible enough to adapt to the teaching needs of the school.

"This is a challenging project that require volunteers to be resourceful, committed, self motivated and will definitely involve long hours of work with plenty of excitement and fun. You will be involved in planning, organising and building activities with the help of a team of volunteers, local laborers and members of the community. Please note that the project area is remote and basic facilities will be provided by Yearoutindia. Amenities like Internet, ATM's, Fax etc are only available at the nearby town centre".
