Program Description
Tavellers Worldwide - Sports Coaching and Teaching Program
Description
On this project you can combine teaching with coaching sports to children in either Primary Schools or High Schools. The majority of the schools we work with are Intensive English Centres, where you'll be able to coach disadvantaged refugee children and also do some teaching at the same time, thus helping them to adjust and settle into their new home country. Many of the children come from war-torn countries such as Sudan and Somalia.

Life Changer
The term teaching English to refugee children in Perth Australia was the most meaningful volunteer experience I've had. The Intensive English Center at Eddystone Primary School is top drawer. It's mission is to assist new arrival students with curriculum, social, and emotional needs. The faculty was engaged, energetic, and welcoming. I felt appreciated, valued and humbled to be part of this very special environment. The students were from a dozen different countries, all EAGER to learn, and very appreciative. That was very refreshing!
As a more senior volunteer I have spent many years in classrooms as a teacher, aide, and volunteer. I made my own living arrangements near the school and that worked well for me.
Western Australia is an amazing place to visit, the Indian Ocean beautiful, and Perth a lovely city to live in. I would highly recommend this particular placement, one you cannot put a price on. It was hard to leave!
