Without Borders is a voluntary social service organization operating with the vision “to empower communities to discover and unleash their untapped potential.” They have set out on a mission to help rural communities island-wide unleash and utilize their untapped potential, by providing them with a sustainable and empowering developmental model. Having started small but impactful, the organization is operating its four pillar project model in four communities in the areas of Deraniyagala, Kahanawita, Dehiowita, and Dangampala Sri Lanka.
The project “Changing Classrooms” will kick-start next year (2017) to run a pilot project for a period of one year, focusing on investing in an innovative curriculum in English, Creativity and Leadership at the Dehiowita National School. If the goal of the project is successfully met, the team at Without Borders is confident that it can bring high influence to revamp the local English Syllabus used in local schools within the province and in the long run, in the entire island. Without Borders strongly believe in the scale of empowerment through quality and relevant education.
The project is to kick-start in January 2017. The chosen volunteers will be able to attend a training/briefing session with the Without Borders team to meet any needs or raise any questions/clarifications.
Requirements to Apply
This volunteer opportunity is open to anyone who is passionate about making a difference by contributing to the success of a sustainable educational platform. Prior teaching experience is NOT necessary.
Commitment
When the pool of volunteers is chosen, the team at Without Borders will communicate to them to select a working day that works best for everyone. A committed day will include traveling from Colombo to Dehiowita and working with the team in running lessons and other activities with kids, mentoring the students, creating new programs and innovating on their existing syllabus.
Benefits to You
Apart from feeling extraordinarily satisfied with your contribution to the society, Without Borders will provide you with the current syllabus and other material that you will need to be effective during your teaching sessions. They will also conduct a free training program. Apart from those, you will also have the chance to build your professional and personal skills in networking, teaching, traveling and meeting other youth leaders while making a big impact in the community.
