This study describes the implementation of the Fun English Learning volunteering program which is part of the assignment in the ELT Project course and a form of social service at SDN 83 Teluk Sepang, Bengkulu City. The aim of the program is to increase students' interest in learning, improve their English skills, and provide a fun and interactive learning experience, especially in areas with limited access. The method used was descriptive qualitative and analyzed Kolb's experiential learning cycle, including concrete experience, observational reflection, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The results show that a communicative teaching approach that focuses on students' active participation can increase their motivation and confidence in using English, especially in speaking and listening. Students were actively engaged, and some who were previously less active became more confident. Despite challenges such as limited facilities and differences in students' abilities, adjusting strategies such as dividing students into small groups and using simple media proved effective. Overall, this activity had a positive impact not only on the students, but also offered valuable experience for the volunteers in developing their teaching skills and understanding of the local culture.
