Afghanistan & Central Asian Association

About this organisation

We work with individuals from over 35 countries around the world living away from their homeland, providing them with support, skills and knowledge to live and prosper in the UK.

Our wide range of services includes English language classes, employment workshops, a women’s support group, a Saturday school and homework club, youth and family support services, drop-in and telephone advice, volunteer placements, and cultural and social events. We provide outreach and visits to individuals and families in detention.

We also work in Afghanistan, where we are developing citizens advice centres in Kabul and Pul-e-Khumri, following a successful pilot project from 2013–2016. They will offer free, impartial and confidential advice, information, support and legal aid on issues including education, employment and domestic violence.

What you'll be doing

You'll be helping out through volunteering, teaching and mentoring. 

Our mentoring project aims to meet the concerns of refugees and migrants who have come to the UK from Afghanistan and Central Asian countries. This is an opportunity for people to receive one-to-one assistance and guidance in a programme tailored to their individual needs.

Are you passionate about teaching? Would you like REAL classroom experience? Do you want to help refugees and migrants improve their language and social skills?

Our Women’s officer is currently seeking students to support the Women’s Project in Hounslow which works with ‘hard to reach’ women and provides English Language classes, social activities and workshops on a range of relevant topics. This is a community development placement involving outreach, project development, planning and delivery and fundraising.
