The GoTeach program supports children and young people who find themselves in need as a result of poverty, loss of family or being forced to flee their country. We aim to help them develop self-confidence, and recognize and foster their individual talents. We also provide young people with early first-hand exposure to the working world.

267 million young people worldwide are neither in employment, education or training, according to a recent report by the [https://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---dgreports/---dcomm/---publ/documents/publication/wcms_737648.pdf International Labour Organization].

Defining GoTeach

DPDHL Group GoTeach rgb.png

The GoTeach program supports children and young people who find themselves in need as a result of poverty, loss of family or being forced to flee their country. We aim to help them develop self-confidence, and recognize and foster their individual talents. We also provide young people with early first-hand exposure to the working world. This involves professional encounters with DHL Group employees, who share their know-how and experience.


Activities mainly focus on the age group 15 years and above. Working with our partner Teach For All, DHL volunteers also engage in activities with children aged 7 years and older.
