Description
We are a warm and friendly English café that blends language learning with real-life cultural exchange. Our mission is to create a space where locals and travelers can meet, speak English, and grow together in a fun and relaxed environment. We host regular classes, conversation clubs, events, and workshops designed to help people learn English through practice—not textbooks!

Help
Language Practice Facilitators: We are looking for volunteers who are enthusiastic about language and communication to help facilitate English conversation groups. You will not be teaching in a traditional classroom setting but rather engaging in and moderating discussions in a relaxed café environment. This involves guiding conversations, encouraging shy speakers, and introducing new topics that are relevant and of interest to the group.

What else ...
Time Off & Local Attractions
You’ll have two full days off each week to explore and relax. Our location is in the vibrant city of Gaziantep, known for its rich history, world-famous cuisine, and welcoming locals. Popular places to visit include the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, the historic Gaziantep Castle, and the bustling copper bazaar. Food lovers will enjoy exploring the city's traditional baklava and kebab spots.
Transportation
Gaziantep has a reliable public transport system including buses and minibuses that connect most parts of the city. Taxis are affordable, and local ride-sharing apps are also available. For regional travel, Gaziantep Airport offers connections to major cities, and intercity buses make it easy to explore other parts of Turkey during longer breaks.
We encourage our helpers to make the most of their stay by experiencing the cultural richness of the area, connecting with locals, and enjoying the unique energy of our café and community.
