Volunteering and English in London
What if you could improve your English, build real professional experience, and explore one of the world’s most iconic cities — all at the same time?
The Study English and Volunteer in London program does exactly that. Combining English language courses at an international school with hands-on volunteering in the heart of London, this program is designed for students and young adults who want more than just a classroom experience. You’ll practice English every single day — in lessons, on the streets, and at your volunteer placement — while making a genuine contribution to the local community.
The program is available from just 2 weeks and runs year-round.
Why join this program?
Real English, every day — lessons in the morning, English in action in the afternoon. You’ll be speaking, listening, and thinking in English from day one.
Professional experience — volunteering in a real UK organisation looks great on any CV and gives you skills you simply can’t get in a classroom.
Meet people from around the world — small international groups mean you’ll build genuine connections with peers from dozens of countries.
Leave with a certificate — you’ll receive a formal certificate recognising your English course and volunteer work upon completion.

Trip reviews
These months of living and working in the United States have impressed me deeply. I live in a beautiful little house, and I can always go out to interact with the deer and squirrels on the road, an experience I have never had. The natural environment of the town I work is beautiful, there is no pollution, the weather is very blue, the air is too fresh!

Before I arrived in the United States, I was very worried about my oral English, but when I came to the United States, I found that I didn’t have to worry. Everyone is very friendly and kind to me, when I am in trouble, they will help me, teach me English pronunciation, teach me English spelling, English is not a problem. I hope more students can participate in this program..
