“Visiting and living in Cape Town for two months was one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences of my life.”
​Mike, Melbourne


Help teach these enthusiastic youngsters and really make a difference to their lives.  This is a fantastic opportunity for you to gain classroom experience, learning practical skills and gaining confidence working alongside a local teacher.

You’ll work with children aged 6-18 years old, assisting local teachers in their classes and on other fantastic development projects which support the school and the wider community.  
​
To top it off, you’ll get to spend time living in Cape Town and enjoying all this beautiful city has to offer. Who would have thought giving back could be so much fun?

Fully supported throughout, this internship program is designed for students, gap-year travellers and first-time teachers.  It is a unique travel experience in its own right or as a stepping stone to further teaching roles.
