Volunteer Role
Volunteers are needed to lighten the load on teachers in 4 local schools. You can perform a number of roles on this project, some of which include:
- Teaching sports in schools – popular sports requiring volunteers are netball, volleyball and football
- Organise after-school events such as clubs, tournament and matches
- Work with local teams to assist coaches & gain experience
- Teach academic subjects in the mornings such as English, maths or vocational skills
Due to the weather, most sports activities are in the afternoons and evenings when temperatures are cooler. This leaves volunteers with the opportunity to relax on the beach in the mornings, go to local areas of interest or give more support to the schools through extra teaching.
