About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The NEWPORT REVITALIZATION COMMITTEE hosts this project jointly with several community nonprofit organizations including the School District, Recreation Department, Richards Free Library and Library Arts Center.

💼 What the programme involves

You will live in a beautiful rural area of woods and lakes. Work will consist of rotating through camps with children and several non-profit organizations where you will be helping with facility maintenance, like organizing the props and costume closet for the local community theater, plus meeting with community organizations like Rotary International (bring a flag to swap if you know a Rotarian in your country). Your flexibility will be much appreciated and you will meet many different elements of our community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in the local high school. Beds and linens provided. Because the accommodations are at a school there can be no tobacco or alcohol on site, even if you are of legal age.

📍 About the location

There will be several opportunities to experience the beauty of New Hampshire’s lakes and mountains plus one all-day field trip with the students. In addition Volunteers will meet with the local Revitalization Committee, Rotary Club and other elements of the Newport community. Newport is a small community without clubs or a nightlife so plan to spend evenings with your international group and various community hosts.

⚠️ Requirements

Volunteers must speak English. Must enjoy working with children and youth and be able to maintain appropriate adult-student boundaries.
