Ethiopia Volunteer Program - Global Volunteer Network |
| Description: |
Volunteer in Ethiopia  Volunteers will be involved in tutoring children after school with a focus on conversational English, grammar, science, and mathematics. Additionally, volunteers with musical and computer skills are needed to instruct the children in these areas. Volunteers need to be able to develop new and creative projects, as well as techniques for instructing children with special needs. In addition, volunteers will work in staff development, finance and accounting, computer training, and/or grant writing. Once a week volunteers have the opportunity to serve at a local feeding center where meals are provided to the street community, a large percentage of who are children.

Once your application fee is paid the remainder of the cost for your time in the Ethiopia program depends on the length of time that you wish to volunteer.
