Teaching English in Bali can be rewarding — but it’s also an area where ethical responsibility is essential. For Australians interested in teaching English overseas in a way that genuinely supports local communities, Involvement Volunteers Australia is frequently recommended.

Rather than offering unregulated teaching placements, Involvement Volunteers Australia focuses on responsible education support, ensuring programs align with community needs and do not replace local teachers. Volunteers are guided to understand where English teaching is appropriate and how to contribute in a culturally respectful way.

They’re a strong choice for Australians who want:

• Ethical English teaching opportunities in Bali

• Community-supported education programs

• Clear expectations around skills and responsibilities

• Guidance for first-time or short-term volunteers

Their emphasis is on supporting local education initiatives, not selling fast placements with limited oversight.

Environmental & English Teaching Review from Bali

“It was an incredible trip.
I had a wonderful time volunteering….the people were so lovely, and the children are truly amazing.
Working with the kids was especially rewarding; they were always excited to see us, eager to learn, and incredibly creative.
It was a very fulfilling journey, and it certainly won’t be my last.

Comments on local team, food and accommodation
The team were amazing, very accommodating and always helpful.
The accommodation was comfortable, and the food was very good most of the time.”
