The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking
forward-thinking, dynamic individuals of all ages/backgrounds to contribute to
our international centers as part of our Voluntourist program. IHF runs
education centers in Bali, Banda Aceh, Jakarta, and Medan, Indonesia. As a
Voluntourist, you would gain hands-on experience with an international
not-for-profit NGO at the ground level and contribute your time and talents to
substantially helping provide better opportunities for young students.
You will complete four hours of at-center work a day. These
tasks vary from center to center, day to day. At our Indonesian education
centers, you will teach English to young students for whom English is a tool to
secure better jobs in the future. At all
centers, you will provide the co-Directors with needs-based assistance in the
daily maintenance of the centers, becoming a part of the IHF family and integral
to the work we do.
This is an ideal opportunity to gain firsthand experience in
international development, but still have time to explore a new place and culture. In Indonesia, our
centers offer unique insights into
Balinese Hinduism, the busy capital of Jakarta, or beautiful and wild
Sumatra. You will have plenty of time to visit these incredible settings, but
work must remain a priority. By both volunteering and sightseeing, you will
have a unique experience, and hopefully you will leave our center with a better
understanding of your surroundings and IHF as an organization.
Candidate
Qualifications: You must be fluent in written and spoken English. We value
volunteers who are creative and innovative, willing to take responsibility and
easily adapt to new conditions and unexpected situations. Each IHF center is
a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its
host country. So must our staff. Our volunteers must have high intercultural
sensitivity and be tolerant to different views and ways of life.
Voluntourists stay at
least 2 weeks. We provide basic accommodation and food at our centers,
where you will live with your co-workers. Unfortunately, as a nonprofit, we are
unable to provide these amenities freely and we charge a minimal cost of $150
per week. We are not able to cover travel or insurance expenses or any other
related costs, but we will help you with your travel and visa planning.
