Passion for Sports
Sports volunteering abroad can combine your passion for sport with your desire for travel. Oyster offers amazing projects for volunteers to coach sports in Chile, Ghana, Brazil and South Africa, where you can enjoy the benefits of living in a vibrant city, but at the same time, really get to know the locals. These countries are all famous for their passion for sports, but many local children do not have access to sports education and this is where sports coaching volunteers can make a real difference. Volunteers can either get involved in football coaching or they can choose to teach swimming, cricket, netball, tennis, boxing – to name just a few. If you love a particular sport, let us know and can see how we can coach it abroad.
Oyster also offers paid sports coaching jobs in Canada. You can gain a ski or snowboarding certification and earn money as a paid instructor.
There is a lot of fun to be had when participating in one of these projects and it is a great way to meet lots of new friends from all over the world as well as enhancing your CV for future job roles or university applications.
