Teach, connect, and grow with Koh Jum Kids – July to December 2025
Volunteer in Thailand with kids – Originally posted in our Facebook group, this opportunity comes from Richard K.H. of Koh Jum Kids, a grassroots education and community project on the peaceful Thai island of Koh Jum, near Krabi. The team is looking for volunteers to join their growing project between July and December 2025, supporting local children and helping out at their volunteer house.
This is more than a short teaching stint — it’s an invitation to live simply, share daily life with locals and other volunteers, and contribute to a long-term educational initiative.
About the experience
Volunteers at Koh Jum Kids help teach English, art, sports, and other fun subjects to children in the local school. Outside the classroom, they also support with cooking, gardening, and day-to-day life at the volunteer house. It’s hands-on, community-based work that’s both rewarding and relational — perfect for those who love working with kids and want to immerse themselves in local life.
You don’t need to be a qualified teacher, but being reliable, friendly, and open to learning goes a long way.
What’s included
In exchange for your help, you’ll receive:
- Free accommodation in simple shared dorms
- Local Thai meals at the volunteer house
- A peaceful island setting surrounded by nature and warm community vibes
- The chance to build friendships, grow your confidence, and contribute to something real
- Minimum stay is 3 to 4 weeks, and longer stays are welcome.
Who it’s for
This project is a good fit for people who:
- Enjoy working with children and being part of a team
- Want to unplug and live simply, close to nature
- Are comfortable living in a small island community
- Are excited to learn about and experience Thai culture firsthand
