This project offers a diversity of activities for local children. During the school year, help is needed to run After School Club and Playschool session for pre-school children.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Host Family accomodation: Staying with a host family allows participants to be fully immersed within the Irish culture. CTL has developed a network of host communities in different part of the country. Host communities are managed by CTL’s local coordinators who deal with local families. Every host family goes through a thorough selection process, we make sure our participants are placed with welcoming and supportive hosts. Host families comes in different shapes and sizes: e.g. parents and children with a spare room, a single host mother, or a retired couple. Families give participants an instant support system and help them learn the local language and culture. Most host family offer participants generally their own single room. On occasion participants might have to share a bedroom with another participant from the same gender.
