VOLUNTEER at ROSHAN

Join a host of talented, dedicated volunteers who find joy and purpose in serving together.

We welcome all kinds of people with a variety of skills to support our goals.

Academic Support

Most of our volunteer roles involve teaching, mentoring, or tutoring students. Teaching or education experience is tremendously helpful, but not always required. Types of academic roles: 

  • Teaching/Teacher Assistant/Mentor/Homework Helper (Weekdays)

  • Tutor (Saturdays)

Min. 6 months & regular time commitment

Other Opportunities

Other ad-hoc or project-based needs that may be a fit with your skills and experience. Examples of ways volunteers can contribute outside of direct academic support:

  • Communications/Marketing (editing, writing, photography, etc.)

  • Outreach/Fundraising Event Support

  • Teacher Training/Coaching

  • Professional Development Workshops

Ad-hoc assignments/based on availability

Interested in volunteering? We’d love to see how we can make it happen.

Available Opportunities

Academic and student-facing roles typically require a minimum commitment of 6 continuous months. Trust and relationship building is especially important for our efforts to provide a stable and quality learning experience. We respectfully ask that you only apply to academic support roles if you can meet the minimum commitment period.

Location: Some opportunities require an on-site presence in South Jakarta, and others are site flexible and would allow you to contribute from home, whether in Jakarta or around the world. 

We deeply appreciate your interest in helping out. We look forward to getting to know you!
