Ethical volunteering organisation with opportunities in Sri Lanka and Nepal
Volunteer in Sri Lanka! Join our Sports Development team and help make an impact by coaching sports in local schools and community projects. Travelteer implements the Sport Development programme at the local level with the goal of releasing the potential of underprivileged kids by providing qualified volunteer coaches and funding for facilities and equipment.
The programme gives volunteers practical experience so they can design and carry out their own sporting events in underdeveloped nations alongside the Sri Lankan Government. Through the coaching of various sports, our various projects put an emphasis on inclusivity and skill development to promote health and wellbeing! Volunteer roles include:
• Planning – Volunteers have their own input into the Travelteer’s Sports Development programme by planning and implementing their own coaching plans and activities.
• Delivering – Work in groups of 2+ to put your plans into action! Help coach the students to achieve their full potential, through interactive PE sessions.
• Observing – Monitor the performance of the students and record their progress.
• Restoring – Working as a team to design and build new sports areas whilst maintaining existing facilities.
• Refereeing – Help facilitate match practice in a variety sports, creating a competitive and fun environment.
