We have two volunteer positions available:
• Volunteer English Teacher
• Day Care Assistant
Volunteer with us and you will have memories that will last a lifetime. We want enthusiastic volunteers to come and get involved. This is not a 9 - 5 Monday to Friday job, nor is it a place where volunteers turn up for two weeks, take some photos with some children in the morning then chill out on the beach in the afternoon. Here, volunteers come and have a lasting impact on the lives of our students and children, volunteers really do make a difference!
Volunteers come for a minimum of three months:
-Late April to late July
-Mid July to mid October
-Late October to late late January
-Mid January to mid April
• Volunteer English Teacher
Volunteer Teachers work across all of our projects. A volunteer could be teaching English at the Technological College for People with Disabilities, then playing some English games at our School for Children with Special Needs. In the afternoon go to School for the Blind and take some children for a walk on the beach, then on Saturdays go to our Children’s Village where the kids will run a riot for two hours. Most volunteers teach English in our schools and our college.
• Day Care Assistant
We also aim to have at least one volunteer in our Day Care Center. Volunteers will work full time at the Father Ray Day Care Center where they will work alongside the local Thai staff caring and educating some of the poorest toddlers in Pattaya. Each morning 60-80 toddlers arrive to spend their day in a safe environment and we need help at meal times, in the class rooms, bathrooms and play time. Volunteers work in the Day Care Center every Tuesday to Saturday. Volunteers work alongside the Thai staff as if they are a full-time member of staff, carrying out some of the same responsibilities as the full-time staff.
On Monday afternoons, volunteers will travel across town to the School for the Blind. Volunteers arrange activities, play games, go swimming and take kids to beach. Here we just want to make these lives brighter. Students are aged from kindergarten age, up to early twenties. The highlight for many of the volunteers (and children!) is when we take the children to a local water park on some Sundays at the end of term, a highlight of the year/term for the children!
We have other volunteers working at the Foundation, teaching in our Technological College for People with Disabilities, our School for Children with Special Needs and our School for the Blind. All volunteers have slightly different schedules depending the projects they support. Whilst in the Day Care Center, volunteers are sometimes the only volunteer supporting that project, the volunteers all live together. All volunteers support our evening social club on two evenings per week and our weekly s

We have volunteers work across most, if not all of our projects, including:
- Father Ray Day Care Center

- Pattaya Redemptorist School for the Blind
- Father Ray School for Children with Special Needs

All volunteers work roughly 5 and a half days per week over a six day schedule. On occasions, volunteers also help with various events including fundraising events and helping to take children to a local water park on Sundays.
Most volunteers will teach English two one-lessons at our Technological College for People with Disabilities and our School for Children with Special Needs in the morning, then teach one hour at the School for the Blind. Volunteers also use their mornings and time throughout their day to prepare their lessons. To have a really good lesson takes a certain amount of planning.
In the afternoons, volunteers spend time with some of the younger children at the School for the Blind, this include time our activity room for children who are blind and have other disabilities, as well swimming, and trips to the beach. Volunteers then teach English to the visually impaired students in Grades 1 to 9. Some volunteers will support other projects, this depends on the needs of the projects each term.
One or two volunteers work in our Day Care Center. A Day Care assistant becomes a full-time volunteer working alongside Thai staff within Day Care. Duties include helping to care for the children, helping to prepare meals and snacks, teaching them basic English, helping with the running of the Day Care Center and most importantly, playing with the children! Volunteers in our Day Care Center spend most of their time working in Day Care, but also support other volunteers.
All volunteers are required to help with our Speaking English Club at the Technological College for People with Disabilities, which is one hour long, 2 evenings per week. This is an informal club to encourage students to speak English. This is a social and fun activity where students play games, do activities and learn English. Volunteers also help with students go swimming on Mondays and Fridays between 5 pm & 6 pm. Some students may only require assistance getting in or out of the pool, others require assistance swimming, some come to the pool only to socialize.
Volunteers have been supporting the Father Ray Foundation for 45 years. Unfortunately, the Father Ray Foundation is no longer able to provide accommodation and the meals as previously supplied. Volunteers get their own accommodation, volunteers pay around 3000 Baht per month for a simple single bedroom without any air-conditioning, this covers water and electricity. Meals cost cost as little as 40 Baht per meal.
