3.6.1 GoTeach Goes Above and Beyond

3.6.1.1 The impact GoTeach has goes beyond the direct support afforded to young people - it reaches out acorss the community.

Educators:

DPDHL volunteers support educators in many different ways, such as through mentoring and coaching, helping them prepare for their professional careers, and visiting schools and classrooms to offer support. In Mexico, for example, DHL Mexico employees led virtual sessions for (second year) teachers and alumni provideing advice on how to maximize their job search.

Students

Students benefit in may ways from the time, experience and skills shared by DPDHL volunteers. In Spain, for example, volunteers from local DHL offices went into classrooms to share their workplace knowledge and skills as part of a GoTeach initiative. DPDHL Group volunteers took part in a school workshop designed to help students to identify their strengths, abilities, and potential career paths. To find out more watch the video here.

The DHL Express India office hosted a computer session for 30 students from three classrooms supported by Teach For All's partner organization Teach For India, teaching computer basics such as how to use the internet and Microsoft Office.

Partner organization and school staff

Volunteering activities also benefit schools and communities as a whole. For example, DHL Bangladesh senior management carried out tree planting activities in two government primary schools in the Mirpur area of Dhaka in collaboration with Teach For All's partner organization Teach For Bangladesh, teachers, students, and staff.

Volunteers have also mobilized their resources to provide support in emergency situations. Following the devastating earthquake which struck Nepal in 2015, Deutsche Post DHL Group and Teach For All's partner organization Teach First Deutschland organized a donation campaign for the benefit of Teach For All's partner organization Teach For Nepal as the program worked to rebuild a safe and effective learning environment for its students amid the rubble.

Families

Families also engage with volunteers. For example, more than 100 DHL Ecuador volunteers, family members, and school family members collaborated on Global Volunteer Day to revamp a rural Teach For All's partner organization Enseña Ecuador school affected by the Cotopaxi volcano in Machachi. The event improved the infrastructure of the children’s learning environment. In addition, seven computers were donated to the school.
