Looking for a meaningful volunteer role where you can use your English teaching skills and support migrants in Australia?

LLAMA (League of Latin American Migrants Australia) is a not-for-profit delivering online English classes to Latin American migrants and international students.

Many of our students rely on these sessions to build confidence, improve communication, and secure employment. As a volunteer teacher, your contribution can have a direct and lasting impact.

Why this role stands out?

These topics are a guide only. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own teaching style and adapt content based on their experience and student needs.
