    This program is ideal for:

    Creative and proactive volunteers who enjoy inspiring children to learn or who want to become teachers. You’ll need to speak fluent English but no previous teaching experience is required as you’ll be supported by qualified local staff. Some relevant training like a TEFL course would be helpful.

    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.

    As a volunteer teacher, you’ll be running after-school English classes for elementary school children. 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
    • Providing pronunciation and language guidance
    • Lesson planning
    • Setting up educational games and activities
    Contributes to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4: Quality Education

    Contributes to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4: Quality Education

    More than half of all children and teens do not meet minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics. Quality education provides an opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment and is key to preventing poverty, securing long-term employment and improving quality of life.

    Volunteer Abroad in Bali, Lovina with IVHQ

    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 if you arrive between 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM on Sunday, before your start date.

    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 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.

    From June to September due to high demand, the local team requests that volunteers arrive on Sundays for airport pick-up. The volunteer house cannot accommodate early arrivals. If you arrive earlier, you can arrange your own accommodation until Sunday and meet the team at an alternative pick-up location. This also applies after the program, as check-out is on 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 Culture Week:

    The Culture 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 gain a deeper understanding of local traditions, learn more about the culture and get to tick off a must-do Bali experiences! The Culture Week will also give you a chance to meet other volunteers and swap contact details for weekend travel and socializing.

    What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience

    NS
    Natalie Starkey

    Volunteering on the Teaching program in Lovina, Bali, has been an incredible lifetime experience. Of all the places I have travelled I have never felt so welcomed to their culture. Being a female travelling alone to volunteer, I felt so safe and the team were amazing at looking after me. The local community is also welcoming too where everyone wants to take the time to talk to you. Experiencing the Kindergarden and School was so valuable especially being a teacher from the UK. It was interesting to compare the differences between education and share some of my knowledge with the children and staff.

    This is a perfect location to explore too away from the tourists and gives you a taste of the real Balinese culture. I can't wait to return! From the moment I joined IVHQ, the online support was excellent with an online training portal and videos to put you at ease. I am already planning my next volunteer adventure!

    I was able to gain so much valuable experience teaching, planning, and working alongside others. The students and local team were so kind and helpful, and I was able to get comfortable teaching really quickly! I would 100% recommend this program to others looking for a really valuable way to travel other places while volunteering!

    The program makes a difference in the community and personal growth is an outcome as well. I really loved helping and I grew from meeting so many different people and having time to reflect as well. The experience is truly hard to put into words but the impact the program left me with was full of complete gratitude!
