Why Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of our programmes.

By volunteering with TEEI, you help people communicate with confidence, rebuild professional direction, reduce isolation, and move from learning toward real participation in society and work.

Our Promise

"Our programmes are designed to be practical, respectful, and bounded. You are not expected to fix everything. You are expected to show up consistently and honestly."

Support Ukrainians rebuilding education, careers, and daily life.
