Volunteer: Teaching Assistant (Primary 1, Oct-Dec)

Project Details What We Need - Support teachers in Primary 1 classroom activities and differentiated instruction from Oct 19 - Dec 22 (Around 4 hours per week) - Facilitate small-group learning activities with students - Provide 1-to-1 learning support to students with SEN where appropriate - Help students understand instructions, participate in activities, and remain engaged in learning - Encourage students to develop confidence and independence in the classroom - Assist teachers in preparing simple teaching materials and learning resources - Support basic programme administration and student progress-related tasks where needed - Attend the orientation and ongoing training/support sessions provided by Unique Minds Background EdQuity Hong Kong Foundation is supporting Unique Minds HK in recruiting volunteers for a new inclusive education programme serving Primary 1 students in three local primary schools during the 2026/27 academic year. The programme aims to strengthen differentiated and inclusive learning by providing additional support within the classroom, particularly for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and other learning needs. Volunteers will work alongside teachers and the Unique Minds team to provide small-group learning support, individual support to students where appropriate, and assistance with learning resources and classroom activities. The programme will initially be implemented across Tung Chung Catholic School (Primary Section), Tsuen Wan Chiu Chow Public School, and Catholic Mission School. What We Have Volunteers will receive structured training and ongoing support from Unique Minds HK. This includes a 2-hour orientation before placement, regular monthly training and support sessions, guidance and supervision from teachers at the assigned school, and ongoing support from the Unique Minds programme coordinator. Volunteers will also receive guidance on their classroom responsibilities and the needs of the students they support. Prior teaching or SEN experience is therefore not required, although relevant experience is welcome. Why this is important EdQuity Hong Kong Foundation aims to support children in developing the knowledge, skills, confidence and opportunities they need to thrive, particularly in areas where additional educational support can make a meaningful difference. By helping recruit and connect committed volunteers with local primary schools, this project allows EdQuity to extend its impact beyond our own programmes and strengthen access to inclusive, individualised educational support. The collaboration also creates meaningful opportunities for young volunteers to contribute to the community, gain practical experience in education, and better understand the diverse learning needs of children in Hong Kong. Project Period 19 Oct 2026 - 22 Dec 2026 Location One of three partner primary schools, matched according to volunteer availability and geographical preference: Tung Chung Catholic School (Primary Section); Tsuen Wan Chiu Chow Public School; Catholic Mission School (C.M.S.) About The Organization EdQuity Hong Kong Foundation Limited https://www.hkedquity.org Causes Education Community Development Youth What We Do Founded with empathy and a deep understanding of the challenges associated with effecting institutional change, EdQuity recognizes that true social transformation must begin at the local level. Our mission is to mobilize capable and passionate young individuals to provide additional support to primary and secondary school students while engaging in dialogues and actions to improve education and reduce inequities at the grassroots level. Through our free-of-charge initiatives, such as one-on-one mentorships, design thinking workshops, interactive forums on career and life planning, and discussion-based learning sessions, we not only encourage students to excel academically but, more importantly, to develop a passion for utilizing their experiences, talents, and knowledge to uplift those facing educational disparities. EdQuity has become a vibrant hub where students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, values, and age groups come together, sharing a common passion to voice their opinions and take meaningful action. Ultimately, we aim to nurture young individuals capable of original thinking, articulate expression, and significant contributions towards reducing education inequity in Hong Kong.
