Parizat Nesting Home is currently home to over 40 girls from some of the most underprivileged areas of Nepal. International volunteers are valued at the center, as they can share their language, culture, and positive ideas. Volunteer tutors will be assisting students from Grade 1 to Grade 10 with a focus on the areas of English, Maths or Sciences outside of their regular classroom hours. As the girls have traveled to Parizat from different areas of the country, their education journeys may not all be the same. Having additional tutoring in the major subjects can help them to gain confidence in studying with their peers. There is a great interest from the girls to communicate with volunteers from around the world as they can gain new insights and exposure.
The center will be closed during the months of October and November due to the festival season.
When you volunteer with our teaching program, you not only help girls from disadvantaged communities gain access to equal education, you also gain personal development skills and professional teaching experience by:
Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal is nestled in a valley surrounded by green hills and mountains. The backdrop of the Kathmandu Valley provides a picturesque view of lush hills and distant snow-capped peaks. Kathmandu is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites including ancient temples and palaces. Volunteers can also experience cultural diversity and festivals in the heart of Kathmandu.
Volunteers will need to arrive in Kathmandu 1 day prior to their assigned orientation day.
After you have registered for the program, please book your flights to arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). Your airport pick-up is included in your Program Fee.
When you arrive at the airport, a member of the Volunteer to the World staff will be there to greet you. From your point of arrival, you will be brought to your homestay or hostel in Kathmandu. Your accommodation is covered by your Program Fee and includes the night before your program orientation.
Orientation is hosted by our local team in Kathmandu on the morning of your chosen start date and covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program in Nepal – an introduction to Nepal, Napalese customs, language training details, rules and expectations, safety, travel opportunities in Nepal, and an introduction to your project and placement. Once your orientation is complete, you’ll be ready to begin your volunteer tutoring mission!

The school operates from Monday to Friday and volunteers can expect to work up to 3 hours per day. Work and hours at the placement are dependent on the project and placement that each volunteer is working at, but a typical volunteer day would be as follows:
Breakfast at the center
Volunteers travel to their placements and meet with the placement staff. There is usually a morning tea break and lunch break.
Work at the placement usually ends. Volunteers are free to travel back to their homestays, go sightseeing or do some shopping.
Dinner at the center
On weekends, volunteers can take the opportunity to relax and travel.
All volunteers have the choice of adding our “Travel Top Up” option to their volunteer experience, in which a full itinerary and travel guide is provided. Adding this option ensures the best experiences in absorbing Nepal’s natural beauty and immersing in the authentic Nepalese culture.
When you join our volunteer tutoring program in Kathmandu, Nepal you will be staying at a homestay or hostel accommodation within a short drive to the center by motor bike. All accommodations will include access to basic living resources and Wifi.

Who should apply for this program?
This program is best suited for female volunteers who have an interest in sharing their knowledge in tutoring students in English, Maths or Science subjects. As a tutor, you will be responsible for helping students gain more confidence in the course work which has been assigned to them through their classroom teachers. Since prior knowledge of the subject material is needed, it is recommended that volunteers have previous experience in teaching and any qualifications above secondary level.
