If Thailand is on your list of favorite destinations, a great way to explore the country is through volunteering. This country, located in Asia and with over 65 million inhabitants, offers a myriad of enticing activities. From temple visits to idyllic beaches, and its famous cuisine. However, before embarking on a volunteering journey in Thailand, you’ll need to organize it and choose the type of assistance you want to offer to the country. There are various types of volunteering programs:
- Daily Care Center Volunteer Program, where you’ll assist and educate children aged three to five years old.
- English Teaching Program, where you’ll aid in teaching English to students in Thai schools.
- Community Education Volunteer Program, where you’ll also help teach English to children who don’t speak the language, whose parents immigrated to work in the country.
- Sports Volunteering, where you’ll engage in teaching physical education to various groups in primary schools.
These four programs will be closed during national holidays and school vacations, which are in the months of April and May for summer holidays, and October for winter holidays.
- Computer Skills Volunteer Program, where you’ll assist other teachers in teaching computer activities, such as computer operation. In this program, volunteers will teach in schools from May 16 to October 10 and from November 1 to April 30.
- Community Construction, where you’ll assist in the renovation and construction of Thai homes and temples. This is a program from Monday to Friday, with a daily duration of between 4 and 5 hours.
- Childcare and Teaching, where you’ll assist young children in their learning. This program is not available during holidays (from March to mid-May and October).
