Learning Centre Teacher

We are a Nicaraguan NGO supporting children in rural neighbourhoods of Granada; by giving them access to quality education to help break the cycle of poverty. As a volunteer; you will work alongside a team of young local educators and other international volunteers in the Learning Centre; which provides a safe; clean and joyful space for children to learn and have fun during after-school hours. You will help teach the children Literacy; English; Maths or computing; as well as run activities in arts and crafts; theatre and social skills. Working in the learning centre is challenging but hugely rewarding. The children are curious; cute and have lots of energy; and you can expect lots of games; dancing; and laughter! Our main goal is to inspire joy and an interest in learning. One of the hard facts of being raised in poverty is lack of expectations and low self-esteem. Through our projects; we hope to inspire self-confidence and learning. We wish to offer children in these disadvantaged neighbourhoods a safe place where they can spend the afternoon; in addition to providing them with access to free quality education; emotional support and a space to play and have fun. Granada is a lively and colourful colonial city well known as one of the most beautiful cities in Central America. There’s lots to explore during your free time; including bustling markets; a famous cathedral; islands on the lake; museums; and plenty of restaurants and bars. There are so many other exciting places to visit in Nicaragua too; from volcanoes and lagoons to rainforests and beaches.
