This opportunity is ideal for new TEFL teachers wishing to gain experience teaching abroad OR for people pursuing a career in NGO work.

We are the Bukit Lawang Trust, and we deliver high quality, free education to communities which are run by our local team and supported by volunteers. All of our education programmes at the Trust aim to empower local people so they can shape a positive, environmentally sustainable future for themselves. We wish to create opportunities to turn away from the environmentally harmful industries that have decimated the region.

We are currently recruiting volunteers for our late 2025 & 2026 cycles.

• No previous teaching experience is required - but we ask that you have a passion for education and for the environment
• You must have a positive attitude and be willing to work hard to help deliver our progrmames
• You must be able to travel to Indonesia for a minimum of two months
• We ask that our volunteers fundraise GBP 1,000 locally prior to flying out on project. This contributes hugely to our programmes, as we are a small grassroots NGO
