  We need your support! 💙
  
  Hello, my name is Min. I am the manager of a school here. We have a team of local teachers who will be there to help volunteers. We welcome all volunteers, no matter their teaching experience. Currently we are looking for help with creating curriculum materials using programs like Canva. It is a small school, so when volunteers are not teaching, pre-planning lessons and creating new activities are much appreciated. Although we are always here to provide lessons if needed, we are looking for volunteers who will bring their own ideas and take initiative with trying teaching techniques. You will be given goals and skills the students need to work on, but how you present those ideas depend on you and the students. It’s an opportunity to be very creative. We aim to continuously develop the students’ skills with interactive and engaging lessons.
  
  After volunteers have watched a few lessons by the teachers and other volunteers, you will be supporting the lessons, either with Thai teacher or sometimes with another volunteer. The class set up is flexible depending on students that day and number of volunteers. No two days are exactly the same, so volunteers must be able to adapt. The school schedule can change daily, but while the public school is in session, volunteers typically teach for 2-5 hours in the afternoon. You may be teaching a group of up to ten students.
  I am teaching on enrolling more students, so that class size may change. In the past, I have offered online classes as well, so that may be a possibility again in the future. If you have taught at other places in different parts of the world, I’d love to hear what you have learned and incorporate it here. I want this to be a learning opportunity for everyone.
  
  Our students are hardworking and eager to learn. We are a private school, so I am able to enroll families that are on the same page and want to support with us. Just as we deserve respect as teachers, the students need good quality education, focusing on effective English development. We strive to create a friendly and fun atmosphere for all, with lots of opportunities for self-growth and developing new skills. The school is clean and comfortable and we provide a volunteer assistance service while you stay in Nakhon Sawan to facilitate your stay and welcome you. If there is anything we can do to help you, do not hesitate to ask.
  
  In addition to meeting amazing students, volunteers have the unique opportunity to experience the culture and daily life of Nakhon Sawan. Meeting community members, visiting the Night Market, attending concerts in the park, and exploring what the province has to offer are just some of the experiences available. You are able to slow down and take the time to really absorb the way of life here and make connections with the locals. By the end of your time here you will know the names of the family who owns your favorite restaurant, where to get the best smoothie, and have a “go to” bench in the park.
  
  💡 What We Offer Volunteers
  • A warm, friendly, and clean environment where you will feel comfortable and happy.
  • Continuous support from our teaching team and school staff.
  • Opportunities to participate in cultural exchanges with Thai students and international volunteers.
  • A variety of teaching experiences, including small classes, interactive activities, and cultural events.
  • Time for exploration — trips around Nakhon Sawan, as well as the possibility to visit places such as Chiang Mai in the north and Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.
  We aim to provide not just a teaching opportunity, but also a chance to develop your skills, grow personally, and create unforgettable memories while making a positive impact on our students.
  
  🏡 What You Will Get When Staying With Us
  • Clean and comfortable accommodation – regularly checked by the host
  • Free air-conditioned bedroom (possibly sharing with other volunteers) – stay cool and relaxed (open10pm-Closed12pm)
  • Fans available in the bedroom and living room
  • Free shuttle service to and from 2nd school at scheduled times (either Grab or myself)
  • Free meals (2) on teaching days – delicious and filling at select local restaurants
  We only provide full free meals on teaching days to ensure we can take more volunteers and continue providing what volunteers need. This has been a fair exchange for us so far, but please know we will not let you go hungry. I will also sometimes ask you to have meals with us. There are many local restaurants, cafes, and food stalls right near the accommodation if you wish to try.
  • Free teaching materials and supplies – everything you need is provided
  • Free drinking water and light breakfast/snack foods (jam, bread, etc.) – available anytime
  • Free waste disposal – well-organized and convenient
  • Playtime with 5 lovely cats (they live in the house with volunteers, so be aware in case of allergies) – the perfect stress relief
  • Close to one of the best public parks in Thailand – ideal for exercise, walking, or relaxing
  • Free Wifi
  🫡Free water heater for showering
  • High Securities (cameras in communal spaces)
  🚩All bedding will be cleaned and provided for you. If you can not find it or some of them missed please ASK!!
  
  We all must work together to keep everyone comfortable and living in a positive environment. We ask that volunteers keep up with basic cleaning at the shared house, including sweeping when you see crumbs on the floor and emptying full trash bins. Cleaning supplies are always available and I periodically come by and do more of a deep cleaning and keep up with the cat's care. If an appliance is broken, please know I will try to fix it or get a repairman as soon as possible. If you are having trouble with any of the appliances, please let me know.
  
  We look forward to welcoming you into our school family and creating meaningful experiences together. ❤️
  
  🚫 Types of Volunteers “Not Suitable” for Our School
  1. People looking for a free holiday
  • Join only to get free accommodation and food but have no real intention to help.
  2. People who don’t like or don’t have patience with children• Dislike noise or energetic classrooms.• Easily irritated when students are distracted.
  3. People who are irresponsible / lack commitment
  • Leave early without notice.
  • Frequently late or absent.
  • Ignore the agreed schedule.
  4. People who expect a highly structured teaching environment.
  • Not flexible with Active Learning style (our school focuses on fun and interactive learning).
  5. People who cannot live well with others

  House/School Policies
  
  Air Conditioning
  We want everyone to be cool and comfortable while staying with us, but we need your help keeping the air conditioning cost low at the accommodation. Please make yourself aware of our air conditioning policies.
  1. Please keep the air conditioner set to 25C so it can function efficiently. If it’s still too warm for you, you can adjust the AC fan speed on the remote and use the additional available fans.
  2. Use only: 10:00 pm - 11:45 am❄️
  Turn off: 12:01 pm - 10:00 pm🫡
  3. Always turn off with the remote control👍
  4. Turn off A/C 10-15 mins before leaving👍
  5. After turning off the air conditioner with the remote, please wait 10 minutes before switching off the main breaker.
  7. If the air conditioner is still running, do not turn the breaker off. Doing so may cause a short circuit in the air- conditioning system, and the repair cost will be 5,000THB.💸
  8. Please do not turn the air conditioner on and off repeatedly within a short period of time. If you are leaving for less than 2 hours and plan on coming back and using the AC, please just leave it on.
  
  👗 Uniform 🥋
  Please be aware that when you are at the school and cafe working, we ask that you follow a dress code as you are representing our organization and serving as a role model to the students. Long pants that cover your knees and shirts that cover your shoulders are required. If you need any long pants or shorts, we have extras.
  
  🚭Smoking
  Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the volunteer house or on school property. It leads to much more cleaning afterwards and we want everyone to be comfortable in the accommodation. Also please be considerate of our neighbors, so the smoke smell does not drift in homes and businesses. Please make sure your clothes do not smell like smoke while working with the students, for the consideration of their health and possible allergies.
