Global Crossroad
Volunteer in Tibet: Teaching English/Work in Orphanage
Just outside of the cultural capital of Lhasa and near the world-famous Potala place, Global Crossroad volunteers teach English to poor, destitute, and disabled children. Most of the time, volunteers in teaching projects work as instructors or assistant English teachers. However, our volunteer in Tibet program welcomes your participation and help in the school's extra-curricular activities, such as sports, games and other activities, or sanitation programs. Volunteers usually teach two to three hours a day for five days a week, working with children 6 to 13 years old.
