school program expert opinion
„Fellows sind eine große Hilfe für Schulen. Die Ergebnisse sind in ihrer Positivität für das Projekt Teach First Deutschland beeindruckend."„Fellows sind allseitig akzeptiert und werden hinsichtlich aller relevanten Kriterien von den Schulleitungen, dem Kollegium und den Schülerinnen positiv bewertet. Ihr Einsatz ist auch für den Lernfortschritt der Schüler in den Einschätzungen aller positiv. Sie machen Lehrern keine Konkurrenz, sondern entlasten diese, weil sie Aufgaben übernehmen, zu denen den Schulen die Zeit fehlt. Zu diesen Aufgaben gehören AGs, Förderung in Kleingruppen, Hilfe im Förderunterricht, Exkursionen und Projekte. Damit etablieren sie sich auch als Bindeglied zwischen Vor- und Nachmittag im Ganztag. Fellows sind in erster Linie sozial motiviert und wollen später schul- und bildungsnah arbeiten. Sie erleben ihre Zeit in den Schulen als positive Bereicherung ihrer Biographie."

clubs or societies or groups
this is similar to what is offered in British schools as clubs or societies, e.g. Theater-AG is a drama group or drama society, Kunst-AG - art club, Computer-AG - computer club etc.
(most schools have extracurricular activities on their websites e.g.: http://www.malvernstjames.co.uk/senior-school/extra-curricul...
working groups are more on a technical / business level

: ‘Clubs’ or ‘societies’ will make the most sense to an Anglophone reader to underline the school context.

Susanna MacKenzie
: In the context you mention, I would use "working groups" and not "team work activities" It designates the group rather than the activity.

Arbeitsgemeinschaften
Im deutschen sind die Arbeitsgemeinschaften an Schulen gemeint, in denen die Schüler am Nachmittag, ihren eigenen Intereessen folgend, teilnehmen können. Diese Teilnahme ist meist freiwillig.
working groups
Das Wort "Fellow" ist im Deutschen nicht gebräuchlich.

Discussion
To me, the interpretation "Arbeitsgruppe" seems more likely than "Arbeitsgemeinschaft" - the acronym for that tends to be ARGE.
