Volunteer in Indonesia with IVHQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization trusted by more than 155000 volunteers since 2007.
Make a meaningful difference by supporting English education in the coastal town of Senggigi, located on the island of Lombok. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and strong community ties, Senggigi offers an ideal setting for volunteers who want to contribute to education while experiencing a more traditional side of Indonesia.
You will help local students develop essential English language skills by assisting teachers, leading interactive lessons, and encouraging conversational practice. This fully hosted experience allows you to support educational development while immersing yourself in daily life within a welcoming coastal community.
Your Role and Impact: The primary goal of this project is to improve students’ confidence and ability to communicate in English, an important skill that supports future education, employment, and international opportunities. Many schools in Lombok have limited access to fluent English speakers, and volunteers provide valuable language exposure that enhances classroom learning and student engagement.
As a Teaching volunteer in Senggigi, your duties will be interactive, creative, and rewarding:
- Classroom Support: Assisting local teachers with English lessons, reading activities, vocabulary development, and pronunciation practice.
- Independent Teaching: Leading simple lessons, games, and conversational exercises that encourage students to actively use English.
- Creative Learning: Using songs, storytelling, arts and crafts, and role play to make lessons engaging and accessible.
- School Assistance: Helping prepare teaching materials, organize classrooms, and support general school activities.
Volunteers work closely with local teachers, school staff, and fellow international volunteers. Local educators provide lesson guidance, classroom structure, and cultural context, while volunteers contribute creativity, energy, and conversational English practice that enriches the learning experience.
No special equipment is required for this program. All teaching materials are provided by the schools or local coordinators. Volunteers may bring small teaching aids or stationery if they wish, but this is optional. Comfortable clothing suitable for a school environment is recommended.
No previous teaching experience is required. Clear English communication, patience, and enthusiasm for working with students make this program both enjoyable and impactful.
Program Details and Accommodation: This fully hosted volunteer experience includes accommodation in a volunteer house in Senggigi with meals provided each day. Transport to and from school placements is arranged locally. Volunteers gain hands on classroom experience, connect with educators and fellow volunteers from around the world, and spend weekends exploring Senggigi’s beaches, nearby islands, waterfalls, and cultural attractions. Available year round, this program offers a supportive and culturally immersive opportunity to contribute to education in Lombok.
