Itinerary

Volunteer with Children :
What to Expect

This project is perfect for you and other teenagers who enjoy working with children. You’ll get to put your energy and enthusiasm to good use. It is also great if you want to incorporate volunteer work with supervised travel.

During this project, you’ll learn more about childcare and the importance of learning through play. This is especially valuable if you’re planning to study teaching or work with children in the future. You’ll also learn personal skills like teamwork and leadership, which are strong additions to your CV.

This High School Special runs over fixed dates during the summer. Our staff accompany the group throughout your stay so if you need help, they’ll be there to guide you. They’ll plan and join you on all social activities and weekend trips to ensure you get the most out of your experience.

In Romania, you’ll work with children at kindergartens and care centres in that can do with some extra support. You’ll be asked to:

  • Teach English classes to improve kids’ language skills
  • Run fun, educational activities that encourage the children to learn through play
  • Assist with light renovation work
  • Learn about Romanian culture and traditions alongside other high school students

Location :
Typical Day

The aim of this project is to support the education of young children at disadvantaged kindergartens and daycare centres. During your project, you’ll assist local teachers by preparing lessons and activities that encourage the children to learn through play.

Many of these centres and kindergartens are often overcrowded. This means that caregivers and teachers are unable to divide their time equally among students. Because of this, some students struggle to keep up in class and end up falling behind in their learning.

English has also become a vital skill in today’s world. By encouraging students to learn English at a young age, there will be many more job opportunities available to them later in life. With your help, they children can practice their English language skills and take part in new, fun activities that promote learning and education.

Support the development of young children through community volunteering with teenagers in Romania.

Brasov

Your Childcare volunteer work in Romania will be based in the city of Brasov. At first glance, the city has a picturesque charm that you’ll fall in love with. With its cobbled streets and terracotta roofs overhead, it feels like you’re walking through a fairy tale. But there is still plenty of hustle and bustle in the city including open markets and side street cafes.

You’ll spend most of your day working at kindergartens or day care centres under the guidance of your project supervisor. You’ll assist caregivers and local teachers who are in desperate need of classroom support.

There is also plenty to see within Brasov and the Transylvania region. Your supervisor will include plenty in your project itinerary. So when you aren’t volunteering, you’ll get to explore with the other high school students. You’ll hike through the Tampa Mountains and visit Count Dracula’s castle!

Food and accommodation

You’ll stay with a host family in Brasov. They will welcome you into their home, eager to share their customs and have you teach them about your own culture. We believe that this is the best way to immerse yourself in the culture of Romania and have a truly unique experience.

We will always try to let you live alongside at least one other Projects Abroad volunteer or intern at the same host family. Your room will be modest, but comfortable, clean, and safe.

Your programme fee includes three meals a day.
