Help refugees practice their English online
What?
Since 2017, the social enterprise Humans in the Loop has offered people affected by conflict training and job opportunities in the countries where they seek protection.
For yet another year, its team has launched the HITL Stars course, which is a three-month English and computer skills training. Participants are divided into three levels - beginners, intermediate and advanced, and are based both in and outside the country.
Volunteers are again expected to spend just one hour a week in an online meeting with their course partner in order to help them improve their English, learn more about their culture (and vice versa) and improve their chances of finding employment. Will you join?
When?
Meetings will take place over 10 weeks or approximately three calendar months, beginning on January 27, 2025 The deadline to sign up is January 15.
Your commitment will be once a week for one hour at a time that is convenient for both you and your partner.
If you choose, you can sign up for the following program with another partner who will be contacted after this program ends.
Where?
All meetings are held online.
Organizer?
Humans in the Loop Foundation.
Why participate?
This project is a great opportunity to help someone fleeing conflict in their country learn English and find a good job in a fun and friendly environment.
Here's what one of the previous volunteers on the course says: "I'm so glad I took part because talking to my peer from Iran who fled to Afghanistan helped not only her, but me too - it made me appreciate what I have and motivated me to keep giving whatever and whenever I can to help."
Skills needed?
Good command of English - C1 level recommended.
After you fill in the enrolment form, the organisers will give you some more information about the project and the meetings themselves.
Are there age restrictions for volunteers?
All volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
Will I receive a certificate of volunteer participation?
Yes.

It's simple: after the end we send you instructions - follow them. This way you earn points and rise in rank , others get inspired and we're all happy.

Здравейте, приятелка с много добро ниво на немски език, учил в Германия би искал да пробва с немски език или английският е единственият вариант? Хубав уикенд и успех!

Good day!
Thank you for being so interested in our program. But I'm sorry, we don't have any programs for the German language at the moment.
