Teaching Volunteer Roles

Why is this project important for the community?

This project is important because the institute is located in a working-class neighbourhood where learning English can be useful since the majority of the locals would never have the opportunity to speak English or meeting native speakers in their area. The hardest thing is being able to keep up with modern and technological demands and also keeping the students interest in learning the language and getting to know different cultures. 

 Volunteer's Tasks

Volunteers are expected to assist teachers in class. The presence of native speakers evidently is very helpful to the children’s learning of the language, but anyone with knowledge of English and enthusiasm to get to know another part of Buenos Aires is welcome. When they reach the last level, namely 6th year, they are expected to have reached an upper-intermediate or advanced level of the language and to sit an international exam called Cambridge First Certificate.

Local Coordination

This English Institute opened in 2000 offering courses of English for children and teenagers in particular, and eventually for adults. It is located in Ciudadela, a small middle class town just outside the city of Buenos Aires. You can take either the bus or train to get there, which will take approximately 1 hour. On your first day, you will have an informal chat with the director, Laura, where she will explain how the school runs and tell you in which classes you can help.

What can you learn as a volunteer?

You will have the chance to know another part of Buenos Aires, commuted with the locals, and amplify your perspective immersing on the day to day of a working class neighbourhood. Assisting the english classes at this institute gives volunteers the opportunity to learn about different aspects of the argentinian culture and deepen cultural exchange in an educational environment .

How does your work impact on the community?

This school amplify the chances to further their education, and provides students the opportunity to forge a brighter professional future. Students are also able to bond with the volunteers through their cultural differences, their accents, theirs travels and more.

Schedule

Courses are delivered from Monday to Thursday in the afternoon. Students attend the classes previously coordinated with the director, and depending on the course, classes last 60, 75 or 90 minutes

Fee includes (600 USD):

• Pre departure information.
• In country coordination.
• Tutoring, constant communication and guidance with your coordinator and Exchange Volunteer Meetings.
• Volunteer Certificate and Performance Evaluation

Background to the Role

Capital of Cycling administrates a successful programme of adult focussed cycling lessons for the Bradford District, which are funded by West Yorkshire Combined Authority.  These are largely managed by Liz, our cycling lessons co-ordinator, supported by other staff and sessional workers and delivered in 5-6 settings.

We are looking for additional support for this provision and want to expand our delivery to be more responsive to the needs of the community groups we’re working with. These groups are asking for activities for young people and families that fall outside the remit of the existing adult-focussed programme.

We are therefore looking for a person who can deliver cycling related activities in community settings and work with community groups and partners to create opportunities to engage with cycling in a variety of ways, including children’s activities, family and community rides, either on or off-road.

National Standards cycle instructor and ride-leader certification with experience delivering cycling activities would be a significant advantage; however there is the opportunity for training to be received within the role.

Main Duties

• Delivery of and development of cycling activities for children, young people and families

• Working to encourage progression to active travel in individuals and communities

• Community based cycling related activities, co-delivered with partner organisations

• Delivery of adult cycling lessons at a range of levels

• Support for the administration of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority adult cycling lessons programme 

• Booking sessions and liaising with freelance cycling trainers

• Providing cover and support for other instructors and team members

• Building community and volunteer-led rides

• Marketing and promoting activities

• Reporting on delivery including collecting data for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of our delivery

Our organisation is focussed on building a culture of cycling in Bradford and is underpinned by our values. You would be expected to work to support existing and new projects and staff within the context of this larger picture.  You need to be willing to contribute to, and actively be involved in our ongoing development plans. Therefore, you should consider the next section to be more than just general background information - it is the basis of how we work together.

Statement of Intent

We aim to encourage more people to cycle, more often for utility and leisure. We develop the capacity of deprived communities to engage with cycling activities. We believe the environmental, social, mental and physical health, community and economic benefits of cycling are huge and collaborating with and supporting cycling related campaigns, clubs and community groups helps us to realise these.

Aims

• A happier, healthier city 

• Zero carbon and just transition* 

• Community led social change for equity

Values 

• Community Led

Our activities and plans are responsive to the communities in which we work (i.e. ‘with’ people rather than ‘to’ people)

• Sustainable

By making cycling affordable and accessible we help reduce carbon emissions and advocate for a greener city

• Participatory

We take a ‘do it together’ approach, recognising the importance of individuals’ contribution to the activities we run

• Cooperative

We all work together to achieve shared aims and take shared responsibility for the development of projects and the organisation.

• Inclusive

We strive to include under-represented groups in our activities and empower people to overcome barriers

Objectives

1. Work with more people and groups that are invested or could become invested in the benefits of cycling and maintenance activity 

2. Grow opportunities (social, health, economic & environmental) via cycling. These are  direct and indirect, with an emphasis on just transition* 

3. Increase reach and impact through campaigns, media and cultural activity such as developing a project for Bradford 2025

* Just transition means a set of principles, processes and practices that aim to ensure that no people, workers, places, sectors, countries or regions are left behind in the transition from a high-carbon to a low-carbon economy.

Required and Desirable Skills

Required:

• Experience delivering cycling or active travel related activities

• Experience of working with community groups or in community settings

• Good communication and teamwork skills

• Ability to work under own initiative

• National Standards or equivalent cycling training qualification

• Good administration and IT skills

• Links to or knowledge of specific Bradford communities or projects including Asian and minority groups

• Experience of working with young people

• Experience of working with people who have had or continue to face personal life challenges

Capital of Cycling is a flexible and accommodating employer. If you require more time off or wish to alter your working arrangements, you will be free to speak to us about this and we will do our best to meet your needs. 

The working times are flexible and some working from home is an option should it suit the task.  Occasional evening and weekend work is expected although you will have input into how this is scheduled.  You will be provided with office and workshop facilities at Rawson Road, Bradford and you will undertake delivery of activities at partner venues such as community centres.

All Nations Christian College has a long history of successfully equipping men and women whose sights are firmly set on a future in mission work. In 2021 we celebrated 50 years of training for these remarkable individuals. We believe our work to be vital – preparing people for mission requires training for ‘the whole person’.
