    Om programmet

    This program focuses on boys aged 13-19 who have been in trouble with the law. The aim is to coach and mentor these adolescents and help them to transform their lives for the better. Whilst no formal training is required, this project is aimed at volunteers with backgrounds in sociology, social work, psychology, law, criminal justice, counselling, and related fields.

    Poverty is widespread in the Philippines, and the results of the pandemic have only increased this further. Teens often drop out of school to supplement their family’s income. However, jobs are hard to find, and the pay is particularly low if the person is under the legal age of working. This can lead to family conflict and young people getting into trouble. 

    The boys on this program are currently detained in a youth rehabilitation centre. They have committed crimes involving drug dealing and violence. Aged 13-19, they are at the rehabilitation centre, as opposed to a correctional facility. 

    The aim is to change their lives around for the better and the boys are well receiving and positive of international volunteers, with the local team recognising that with the extra help and guidance, a quicker rehabilitation can be had. 

    Whilst the crimes the boys have committed can be severe, they are generally not considered to be dangerous and are more so polite and respectful. Most of them just really want to change their lives around and will welcome the help they receive. 

    We are looking for volunteers with special skills to help the boys modify their behaviour and come up with strategies to assist with rehabilitation. The boys are not able to attend regular school, so it is vital that their education is continued, through English teaching, as well as other skills such as baking, cooking, computer literacy, hairdressing, or other vocational education.

    Dedicated, committed and volunteers who show empathy will best suit this project.

    Location
    Tacloban is approximately 360 miles from Manila. It’s the capital of the Province of Leyte and has a population of 275,000 people. The city offers international volunteers an opportunity to be immersed in a unique Asian culture, which is at least partially left untouched by Western Culture, especially in the rural areas. In November 2013, Tacloban was one of the most devastated areas of the Philippines when Super Typhoon Yolanda (Hayian) ravaged through the Philippines; therefore, the city and surrounding areas now present an even greater range of opportunities for international volunteers. Tacloban is easily accessible by air from Manila or Cebu through daily flights offered by Philippines Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Zest Air.

Life inside a homestay is not only safe and cost effective, but is also a great way to contribute to the local economy and to experience the true nature and culture of the Philippines. All homestays have electricity and running water.

The bathroom will be shared with the family and will be basic with cold, bucket baths (hot running showers are uncommon in Philippines) as it’s so tropical and warm! All home stays are English speaking. The home stays have been thoroughly evaluated before being accepted into the program and have been in operation for several years. You will be able to experience the Filipino culture and participate in the daily life of a local.
