Volunteer Teaching in the Philippines

Experience volunteer teaching in the Philippines with Meaningful Volunteer at our RYE School.

Garbage Funded

What is a RYE School?  We have designed our RYE (Recycle Your Education) Schools  to be radical education environments.  They are funded - in part - by volunteers such as yourself, and partly by the students who pay their school fees in garbage.  Garbage?!  How does that work?  Click here for more information.

Detailed Student Information

We believe in providing the best possible information about our students and classes.  This provides:

• An excellent way for new volunteers to meet the students they will be teaching
   
• Provides a way for potential sponsors to get to know some kids
   
• Provides a motivational tool for students
  "Little Johnny can sponsored and he is getting better marks than you.  What do you think you should do?"

On-line Lesson Plans and Training

Many other volunteer programs place untrained teachers with zero experience in developing countries with zero resources and expect them to perform miracles.  This is the very antithesis of a meaningful experience.

Here at Meaningful Volunteer, we believe in equipping volunteers with as much information and training as we can.  We have in depth help available for our English land series of books and here are just a few examples of the type of resources you'll have available to you.  Also, you might want to check out one of our on-line lesson plan. 

Audio Tracks You'll have audio tracks available to you to help the students with their listening and speaking skills. Activity Sheets You'll have activity sheets available as in classroom activities. Teacher Cards You'll have both teacher and phonic cards to help you teach the students.
