The Marshall Islands, located in eastern Micronesia, have hosted WorldTeach volunteers since 2002.  Volunteers live and teach in Majuro, the capital city; on Ebeye-Gugeegue, the other population center, which is an urban "bedroom community" for the nearby American military base of Kwajalein; and on the Outer Islands, which range from traditional islands without running water, electricity or much commerce, to islands with basic utilities. The Outer Island volunteer experience stands out for its remoteness and cultural immersion.  On the Outer Islands most volunteers teach at elementary schools. On Ebeye-Gugeegue, volunteers teach at the new high school, and in Majuro, most teach at high schools

We are excited to announce the position of Director of Access to Higher Education Initiative, a special volunteer opportunity for the 2010-2011 program year.  Interested applicants must complete the standard WorldTeach application and call the WorldTeach office for more details on the interview process for this position.

 Marshall Islands volunteers depart in July.  The program runs for a full academic year and a 12-month commitment is required. 

Volunteers must be native English speakers, have a Bachelor's degree (in any subject),and be between the ages of 18 and 74 by the departure date. Successful volunteers will be committed to teaching and international development. They must demonstrate flexibility and a desire to live and teach in a remote location.
