VSO needs teachers

We're currently recruiting experienced primary and secondary teachers and principals for placements in our programmes across Africa and Asia.

Have you got what it takes to volunteer?

Around the world, your skills can make a difference. The communities we work in need experienced professionals like you.

As a VSO volunteer, you’ll live and work alongside local professionals, helping improve the quality of life for people who need it most. What’s more, you’ll experience a different culture in a way few people ever can.

You’ll change lives – including your own. Take the first step towards volunteering with VSO today.

“It was the most incredible 12 months of my life. Not only did I make a real difference, I also developed professionally.” Olly Jefferies, VSO volunteer

Want to get involved?

You don't have to volunteer overseas to make a difference. In fact, another good way you can help is by staying right where you are.

We need passionate people like you to raise awareness about the realities that poor people face, and then raise money and campaign to solve it.

Your contribution matters, what will you do today?
