How We Define GoTeach

The GoTeach program supports children and young people 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 talents. We also provide young people with early first-hand exposure to the working world. This involves professional encounters with DPDHL Group employees, who share their know-how and experience.

With our partner Teach for All, DPDHL volunteers start to engage with children of 7 years in age and older.

Working with young people accompanied by SOS Children's Villages, activities mainly focus on the age-group 15 years and older.
