SPICE – Summer Programme for Immersion in Communicative English
This project is run jointly with Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong HONG KONG
Our project mission is to provide fun, confidence building, 7-day English immersion programmes each summer to some of the most disadvantaged children in HK.
See the dedicated programme website at: http://www.justvolunteers-spice.org
Our goal is to spark an interest in learning English among some of the most deprived children in Hong Kong, giving them the confidence to see what they are capable of.
We do this by working with an international team of young people who undergo a 2 week training programme and then run three camps for a total of 240 children.
Overseas volunteers and HK interns work in teams of 3 with groups of 15 children.
They run a fun, inter-active, child centre programme with no traditional English teaching. We want the children to see how fun learning English can be!
The international volunteers are provided with pleasant accommodation at the Chinese YMCA Youth camp in Wu Kai Sha and we cover local transport costs and food costs.
International candidates for this programme need to be native English speakers who are undergraduates or recent graduates of a British university.
Hong Kong interns are invited to apply through their university.
