Description
Hello!
We are a surf-skate hostel located in the village of Arugam Bay, we first opened in August 2023 and are currently open for the Arugam Bay season 2025! We are a surf-skating hostel, we are proud to have opened Arugam Bays first ever skate park! Our high season runs from May-October!
The skate park is within our hostel along with dorm rooms, a private room, basketball ring, restaurant and communal areas.
We are a backpackers hostel that is becoming quite popular, especially among those who share the interest of skating. Our skate park is open for everyone, free to use for our guests and any visitors. We also organise surf trips daily, safaris and camping trips!
The hostel is located outside of town of Arugam Bay. Please note: it is around a 10-15 minute walk.
At our hostel, we have chosen to help the local kids with learning English, whilst they also boost their skate skills - so we are looking for a volunteer.

Aide
We are looking for a volunteer superstar! Someone passionate about helping with younger kids (aged 6-16), someone who is eager and ready to assimilate into our family!
We host 1 hour english practise 5x per week, afterwards the kids have a 1 hr skate session. The sessions run every day excluding Fridays from 4-5 pm.
We are looking for someone who is capable of helping kids learn and who has varying levels of English. We want to improve their conversational English as much as possible, games, dancing, writing; however you choose to help works for us! I am preferably looking for someone who can also develop lesson plans that flow seamlessly into one another - we don't want to be choosing random topics every day as they will likely forget if it has no flow
There are around 30 kids in total, split into 2 groups depending on age, Group A will have class 3 times a week, Group B 3 times a week, alternating days.
How you help is up to you! We are looking for someone who is passionate about learning with and teaching kids - experience is preferable!
