We hope our volunteers have had a great vacation and have enjoyed their time away from the hustle and bustle of university life.
The second semester has begun, and TeachOut needs YOU to get involved!
Our workshops are planned to start on Monday, 2 August. This is the second week of the university term. During the first week, Teachout will be recruiting some new volunteers, and you will be able to find us on Jammie Plaza (or in Leslie Social if it rains). Come visit us to sign up or talk to a committee member about getting involved. Or just send us an email at info [at] teachout [dot] co [dot] za, and we’ll guide your through the recruitment process.
Those of you interested in student leadership should also keep your ears open as we will be recruiting a new TeachOut Committee over the next few weeks. Details about the applications process will be advertised soon.

The 2009 TeachOut committee is rather pleased with our first term of operations. TeachOut started with a bang this year, running most sessions from the first week.. Despite scrupulous planning, the first term was not without its problems. The greatest of these was the decided lack of cash…we are, however, pleased to inform you that this problem has been partly solved – we are still looking for money to finance the fourth term of operations.
During the first term TeachOut had 58 tutoring sessions and only 4 sessions were cancelled. We currently have 96 active volunteers that are tutoring approximately 300 pupils within the three schools we operate – the help is greatly appreciated. Members of the TeachOut Committee are carrying out their jobs excellently and are excited and motivated to continue our successes into the second term.
