Volunteering Process

• Global Schoolroom begins recruiting volunteers at the beginning of each School year and continues through the first School term.

​​​

• ​Those interested in applying for a place should complete the online application form above.

​​

• A short list of candidates is drawn up and called for interview.

​​

• Successful candidates are then requested to provide a Doctors letter confirming that they are fit to travel, they must clear Global Schoolroom’s Garda vetting procedure and commit to part-funding the cost of the trip to the tune of €3000.

​​

• Successful candidates sign A Volunteer Declaration and commit to upholding all relevant Global Schoolroom policies and procedures.

​​

• Those chosen then begin a pre-departure training process where they familiarise themselves with the content of the modules to be covered during the summer programme.

​​

• During these sessions, which typically take place over a number of weekends, new volunteers will have a chance to interact with former and returning volunteers.

​​

• Global Schoolroom also provides necessary medical advice through their medical advisor in the Tropical Medical Bureau (TMB.ie)

​​

• Flights, transfers, food and accommodation is provided.

​​

• Accommodation is offered in a variety of small hotels and guesthouses.

​​

• Travel Insurance is provided

The health and safety of our volunteers is taken very seriously.  A number of activities take place throughout the year to prepare volunteers for the context in which they will be working and the necessary precautions they need to take.
