🏢 About the local organisation

SJ Vietnam is an international youth NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) that promotes values of solidarity, peace and tolerance through youth citizenship projects to improve society during and after the voluntarism. It was set up in 2004 by international and Vietnamese young volunteers. SJ Vietnam is an independent Vietnamese branch of SJ France, a full member of CCVIS (UNESCO) and NVDA, a partner of YAP and Alliance. SJ Vietnam is an independent, non-political and non-religious organization open to everybody without any distinction of nationality, race, education or sex.

💼 What the programme involves

Most of the children in different provinces of Vietnam don’t have the chance to communicate with foreigners regularly. In public schools, they just have one or two English lessons per week. Children are the future of Vietnam, who will lead and develop the country in the future. Therefore, SJ Vietnam would like to call volunteers to join this significant project to widen English knowledge and spoken English of children in our local community. Please join the project "From Ears to Mouth – Helping children in local community" and make a change – interact with children and encourage them to speak out their mind, their ideas in English! * Your work Teach English, organize leisure and outdoor activities for children, guide them on how to use the computer, prepare performances with the children for special events and encourage them to speak English by active daily communication.
