Help find space for our centers
A center runs for 2 ½ hours every day either in the morning or in the afternoon and we need the space for about 30 minutes prior and 45 minutes post center. The space should be about 600-800 square feet in area and should be within 5-10 minutes walking distance from a slum community.
Work with us as
1. A Center Teacher
You need to be fluent in English and be willing to give about 4 hours every day to the project which includes picking up children from the community and dropping them back, teaching English, conducting sessions on health, sexuality, careers, current affairs and supporting the subject teacher in instruction of Math and Science. You will be responsible for creating opportunities- learning and exposure to ensure that each child has a clear understanding of her/ his career and a plan to reach the same.
2. A Subject Teacher
You need to be fluent in Marathi and have some experience teaching Math and Science to children in the 7th and 8th standards. A teacher’s degree/ diploma is not a prerequisite. Your teaching should not be dependent on the black board but should employ creative teaching methods and aids that accelerate learning amongst the kids. As a subject teacher, you will have to ensure that the children are able to make up adequately for the lack of academic skills and are at pace with the expected learning objectives.
You will also assist the center teacher with the attendance and at the parent meetings and building the community rapport.
Volunteer with us
As a volunteer, you commit to giving 3 hours of your time, once a week and either help the teacher with the implementation of the class plan or help teach parts of the curriculum. You should be fluent in English and/ or Marathi.
