Orphanage Outreach

Outreach360 is grass-roots volunteer organization. International volunteers and donors will provide the primary source of teaching and funds for new centers; transitioning to local teaching and funds as each cen-ter matures. Outreach360 is an opportunity for all people to volunteer and contribute—to Release the Hero Within.

We offer a program year-round where teams and individuals can join us for a minimum of one week to a year. We offer a turn-key approach to volunteering where health and safety of our volunteers is our number one priority, so that volunteers can focus on the direct service work. Getting started is simple; view our getting started page.

Pre-School: Pre-school children receive a simple but nutritious breakfast and lunch, along with a pre-school educational curriculum. Much of the food is provided by Outreach360 inspired community gardens. Goal—children have nutritious meals, and develop at or above age level. Pre-school parents have the obligation of providing 8 service hours/month to the center.

Grades 1-8: Grade school and middle school children are taught beginning and intermediate English with a variety of fun methods, including structured classroom time, learning activities, and English immersion camps. As children are learning English, there is an opportunity to learn about many different subjects. Goal—children are speaking intermediate level English at the end of the 8th grade. Primary school parents have the obligation of providing 8 service hours/month to the center, middle school students have the obligation to provide 8 service hours/month at the center.

Grades 9-12: Vocational Program and College Prep Program: Senior high school children are given the opportunity for both vocational and college prep education. Children most interested in vocational jobs are taught a base level of skills, and a specialty skill. Children most interested in a college education are taught GED/SAT type programs. Students are eligible to receive advanced English classes. Goal—children are prepared for either a job or college education upon completion of grade 12. High school students are required to provide 8 service hours/month at the center, and 160 hours of service at the center during the summer.

College—College students who have successfully completed the Outreach360 college prep program will receive a scholarship toward their four year college education. College students are required to provide 80 hours of service to the community center during the school year breaks, and 320 hours of service to the center during the summer break. They also sign a contract to provide 40 hours of volunteer service in the community center every year after graduation.
