Extra Mile

Extra Mile is a UK registered Charity helping to bring education to the street children of war-torn Sierra Leone. Its ten year mission is to recruit volunteers to teach in English-speaking schools, help train its teachers and open its own ‘free’ school.

Short Term Volunteer Options
We can often arrange placements as short as 1 week. Short term placements are often perfect to fit within shorter holidays, career breaks or even as a taster for further volunteering experiences. Short term placements are a significant source of skills and time which can significantly benefit our participating schools. Even if you are currently working, at high-school or university or a recent graduate you can probably still participate in our project.

Professional Volunteering Opportunities for Teachers
We specialize in taking your skills as experienced educators and creating appropriate placements. We devise Sierra Leone based volunteer work in schools and institutes around Freetown.
Group Volunteering Trips Abroad
Group volunteering trips are available for school and university students over the fall, summer, spring break, or winter break. Contact us for more information on these trips.
