  • Teaching & Education Programs

    Volunteer Teaching Abroad

    Knowledge is power. Education is one of the most important tools to empower youth with knowledge, self-confidence and skills needed to fully participate in the development life process.

    Volunteering in an international educational volunteer program is a great way to prepare for a career as educational administrator, teacher or principle. Expand your thinking and your personal frame of reference by joining a project in another country and get to know another culture. When you volunteer in an overseas program you gain more of a global perspective. This alone can make you a more qualified and marketable educator.

    Program options include working in a classroom; teaching kindergarten, primary or secondary education. In formal teaching programs can include after-school library projects, community centers, education sessions at women shelters or orphanages.  

    Some of the programs that are part of this specific program include:

    • Teaching English words and grammar
      Working with rural and urban schools
      Following teacher lesson plans & creating your own lessons
      Providing support to teachers in the school
      Teaching letters, numbers, colors and other basics

    If you have any level of interest in working with children and helping improve their lives through education, this is a program for you. Schools around the world have varied schedules, but most are in sessions in June/July when teachers from the USA are on summer holidays. What a better way to spend your vacation then giving back to a school community in a developing country.  

    You do not need previous experience to be an affective education volunteer. Many local teachers are desperate for ideas and activities to share with their students to expand their thinking. Placements are customized to suit your comfort level, skills and interest.

    With this type of program you’re definitely not going to have a problem feeling like you’re giving back. You’re going to see it every day with the youth who are waiting for you to start up on the next lesson for the day.
