    Teach in Nepal this August-September with optional hiking add on 2025/26

    Mondo Foundation

    15 Aug 2026 - 22 Oct 2026

    Spend 4 unforgettable weeks teaching in rural Nepal on a summer volunteer placement designed to make a genuine difference. Working alongside local educators and within a welcoming community, you will support children’s learning in a setting where enthusiasm, creativity and encouragement can have a real impact. Nepal is one of Mondo’s key student programmes, aimed at volunteers who are passionate about education, open-minded, resilient and keen to contribute positively as part of a team.This is much more than a placement abroad. You will be travelling with other students already signed up, with shared time and possible pairings during the placement, while still gaining your own immersive experience. The programme runs every summer, and for 2026 the confirmed dates are 22nd July - 29th August and a second group on 15th August - 22nd September.Volunteers can expect to develop valuable skills that will stay with them long after the placement ends. These include communication, teamwork, adaptability, cultural awareness, leadership and confidence. Previous volunteer reflections from Nepal also highlight the value of creativity in the classroom, relationship-building with local teachers and host families, and the personal growth that comes from living and working in a very different environment.There is also the option to add trekking after the teaching placement, giving you the chance to experience Nepal’s remarkable landscapes as part of a wider adventure.Students are asked to fundraise in support of the programme, helping make this opportunity possible while contributing to longer-term impact. For anyone looking for a summer that combines purpose, challenge, community and personal growth, volunteering in Nepal is a truly rewarding choice.

    Learning Team Volunteer at Coventry Transport Museum 2025/26

    Coventry Museums

    01 Aug 2025 - 31 Jul 2026

    We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are keen to gain experience with our youngest visitors and their families and museum based education. As a learning volunteer you will be friendly, energetic, easy to talk to and patient.

    The Coventry Transport Museum offers early years (pre-school children) and family activities that include in-gallery loose parts play sessions and junk-modelling maker sessions. The museum’s play sessions are nationally recognised as promoting best practice in engaging our youngest visitors in museums. These sessions involve a lot of tidying up due to the high variety of playthings being used, but are most importantly fun! 

    We also offer activities during school holidays, when we are playfully exploring different STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) topics in our Learning Spaces. These are transformed into environments that offer open-ended opportunities and resources for our families to tinker, make and play freely.

    As a learning volunteer, you will help us to deliver a great experience by assisting families during play sessions. 

    Specific dates for volunteering would be when the Mini Museum Engineers and Family Museum Engineers sessions are running. Mini Museum Engineers are running every Wednesday and Family Museum Engineers every first Saturday of each month, but this may vary at times. 

    There are also additional special sessions running during Coventry School Holidays: February half-term, Easter, May half term, summer break, October half term and December.
