Rural Teacher Assistant Volunteer Program in South Africa

There is a great need for help at the schools for teacher’s assistants during the week and at One Heart’s Rural Family Resource Center for weekend programs.
The helpers do not necessarily have to be teachers or teacher students, but it will be to a great advantage if they are.
Through this experience the volunteer can assist in helping the school and the foundation due to a lack of human resources.
What will be expected of the teacher assistant volunteer?
• To be a Teacher assistant in the school classroom
• To be a Volunteer to One Heart for Youth Outreach Programs that includes coordinating and facilitating of programs.
• To coordinate and facilitate Youth Outreach Programs that promote social emotional development with the following topics: Leadership, Taking Ownership, Social behaviour and social ethics, Sport and Health, Healthy living and eating
