Project details
Are you interested in becoming a volunteer teacher in Bali - Lovina? International Volunteer HQ’s Teaching project invites volunteers to impart valuable English language skills to school children while sharing their own culture. Through this program, volunteers contribute to enhancing access to education within the local community. By assisting children to remain in school, pursue further education, and access better employment opportunities in the future, volunteers play a vital role in shaping brighter futures.
What to expect and how you'll make an impact
Tourism and hospitality are major industries in Bali and the main source of employment for local people. Jobs in the sector require a high level of English proficiency so the chance to learn from and practice the language with a native speaker is extremely valuable.

You may be paired up with another volunteer or in sole charge, and you’re free to get creative with how you teach. You might include games, songs, sport or art in your lessons. There is a general syllabus for you to follow and examples of what previous volunteers have done to guide your lesson planning.
Day-to-day teaching volunteer work varies, but generally consists of:
- Teaching English to 8-12 year olds

What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience
I gained a sense of purpose and an overwhelming sense of joy every time I was at school. I learnt to be adaptable and to think on my feet to create lessons that would engage and meet the needs of the children. It is an experience that I will never forget.
I loved teaching in Bali, the children were kind and receptive - they really wanted to learn and I felt compelled to teach them as much as possible. I gained the ability to plan ahead well and to communicate in different ways in order to convey what I need to teach.
It is an experience where I meet new people and learn about new cultures different from my own. At the same time, you become more open-minded.
The friends and experience you make is one of the most unique and fortunate things you can be offered.
I gained a life changing experience, that opened my eyes to a completely different world, do it and it will be the best thing you've ever done!

Location
Lovina is a charming coastal town located on the northern coast of Bali, Indonesia. The volunteer accommodation is a short stroll away from the nearest beach and the heart of town. Volunteer placements span various nearby locations, ensuring easy access with travel times ranging from 5 to 45 minutes. This allows volunteers to immerse themselves in their projects while savoring Bali’s beauty. Lovina offers a serene escape from the bustling crowds of southern Bali, showcasing black sand beaches, serene waters, and breathtaking sunsets. Lovina is famous for dolphin watching, where visitors can witness playful dolphins frolicking in the early morning hours. With its relaxed vibe and natural beauty, Lovina is the perfect destination for travelers seeking tranquility and exploration in Bali.
Arrival and orientation
The program orientation will begin on the Monday of your start date and volunteers need to arrive in Bali on the Sunday before orientation.
After you have registered for the program, please book your flights to arrive at the Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar International Airport (DPS). Your airport pick-up is included in your Program Fee should you arrive between 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM on Saturday or Sunday, before your start date. We recommend that volunteers under the age of 18 travel internationally with a notarized letter from their parents to support their documentation.
When you arrive, you will be greeted at the airport by a member of the local team and transported to the volunteer accommodation in Lovina. Your accommodation is covered by your Program Fee and includes the Sunday night. If you are traveling in Bali prior to your volunteer program, we can arrange for you to be picked up in Denpasar on Sunday.
It is important to note that due to high capacity during the period from May 27th to September 7th, 2024, the local team requests that volunteers only arrive on Sundays to receive an airport pick-up. As the volunteer house cannot accommodate additional nights for early arrivals before Sunday. If you happen to arrive earlier, you are welcome to arrange your own accommodation until Sunday when you can meet the local team at alternative pick-up locations. This also applies after the program, as check-out is scheduled for Saturday.
There are two options for orientation on the Bali - Lovina program.
1-day Orientation:
This begins on your selected start date and covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program. You will have an introduction to the IVHQ Bali - Lovina Program and the local staff, Indonesian customs, rules, expectations, and safety. This will be followed by a project-specific meeting with the project preparation you’ll need to complete for the following day.
5-day Introduction Week:
The Introduction Week begins on the morning of your chosen start date and runs for the first five days of your stay. It is an awesome way to kickstart your volunteer abroad experience and it covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program in Bali, plus you’ll learn more about the culture and get to tick off a must-do Bali experiences! The Introduction Week will also give you a chance to meet other volunteers and swap contact details for weekend travel and socializing.

Lovina offers something for every traveler seeking relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion.
Accommodation and WiFi
Volunteers will be accommodated in an authentic Balinese-style repurposed hotel with dormitory-style rooms. Conveniently situated on the main road in Lovina town center, the accommodation is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, ATMs, and the breathtaking black sand beaches.

If you wish to arrive a day earlier than your recommended arrival date or spend a few extra nights after completing your program, we can arrange additional nights of accommodation for you at $70 per person per night, including meals, subject to availability. You will be able to book extra nights via your profile after you register.
Private room upgrades are also possible for an additional $179 per room per week. Once you have registered, you will have the opportunity to request an upgrade based on availability.

Additionally, Western-style meals will be served twice a week. For breakfast, volunteers can expect pancakes, fresh fruit, toast, and eggs.
