  • Using the provided curriculum and lesson materials
  • Communicating consistently and respectfully with your student and Paper Airplanes team
  • Completing the required online tutor training before the semester begins

We are looking for volunteers who are:

  • 18 years old or older
  • Comfortable communicating in English
  • Reliable, patient, respectful, and open-minded
  • Able to commit for the semester
  • Interested in supporting conflict-affected learners through education
  • Able to meet online with a stable internet connection

Volunteer benefits include:

  • Fully remote and flexible volunteering
  • A low weekly time commitment of around 2–2.5 hours
  • Simple, ready-to-use curriculum materials
  • Tutor training before starting
  • Ongoing support from program facilitators
  • A meaningful opportunity to support conflict-affected learners
  • Hours verification letter at the end of the semester
