As a WorldTeach volunteer teacher you will witness firsthand the challenges and rewards of education in a developing country. You will share the skills and knowledge gained through your education and life experience with students who have not had the same advantages, and you will make a concrete and lasting difference in their lives. You will gain cultural understanding and the ability to work independently in a new environment. You will have a role in the community, and an opportunity to learn about the local culture and contribute to community life and development. And you will develop key skills--including teaching, language, cross-cultural communication, and leadership--that will be useful in any career.

"Our volunteers have the possibility of understanding how to be useful, of discovering what is and isn't possible to do as persons from developed countries interface with persons from the developing world."

Executive Director
