Hello, I'm planning to go to Saigon in April and would like do some volunteering there for 2-3 weeks. I'm looking for a nonprofit organization or school where I can teach analogue and digital (participatory) photography to young students. I can teach English too.

I was doing some Google search today of free volunteering opportunities in Saigon, but most of the search results point to websites that charge volunteer's fees. Please let me know if you know anything.

Thank you!

Very good man, I know a place - a church in Saigon where they teach English to young student for free. I keep you in mind and will see whether they still work.

Check out Saigon Children's Charity. They are always looking for English teachers. i know they have held Photography courses in the past too, so you might be in luck.
