Help young people in Madagascar build the maths and business skills they need for everyday life and future opportunities.
JOIN THE MATHAGASCAR TEAM
A hands-on summer with real purpose.
We’re looking for 3–4 international volunteers to support the next Mathagascar programme in Nosy Be during July and August 2027.
You’ll join a practical, friendly learning programme for teenagers aged 14–18. Rather than teaching maths as abstract theory, we use local examples, interactive exercises and games to make it meaningful.
This is an opportunity to contribute time and enthusiasm while working alongside students and other helpers.
HOW YOU CAN HELP01 02 03 
Transforming students into entrepreneurs.
Run activities
Help set up and deliver trading games, demonstrations and real-world challenges.
Encourage confidence
Offer positive feedback, celebrate progress and help create a welcoming learning environment.
WHY IT MATTERS
Small moments. Big progress.
25%→75%
During the 2026 programme, students’ average scores increased from 25% to 75% on assessments with comparable question types and difficulty.
Volunteers can help give students the individual attention and encouragement that makes practical learning possible.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Good French. Great maths. Plenty of enthusiasm.
The course is taught in French, so you’ll need a decent level of French and a very good grasp of maths. You don’t need to be completely fluent: we’ll help you prepare for the mathematical vocabulary and teaching.
All the course materials are written in English and French, and we have extensive training material recorded in French to help with the key mathematical explanations. As a guide, someone with AS- or A-level French in the UK system should manage well.
There’s also a Malagasy translator on hand, so we have several ways to communicate ideas clearly in the classroom.
Above all, we’re looking for people who enjoy working with teenagers, can explain concepts patiently and will bring energy and encouragement to the lessons. Safeguarding arrangements, supervision and any necessary checks will be confirmed before volunteers are appointed.
