Approaching our twentieth year of service in Namibia, we at WorldTeach are proud of the consummate collaberation and partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Namibia, a partnership which has allowed us to send over five hundred volunteers to Namibia since its independence in 1990.
Volunteers in Namibia work as English, Mathematics, Science, and Computer Studies Subject Teachers in a wide range of institutions, including primary schools, secondary schools, and adult training facilities. In addition to their subject teaching, interested volunteers are also encouraged to serve as HIV/AIDS Resource Teachers. Many teaching placements are in relatively remote areas.
The program departs in December (usually after the Christmas holiday). Volunteers are in-country for approximately 12 months and must adhere to the time commitment.
Volunteers in Namibia must be native English speakers with a Bachelor's degree in any subject and must be at least 18 years old and no older than 65 by the departure date. Successful volunteers will also demonstrate flexibility, dedication to cross-cultural understanding and a desire to teach in Namibia.

"I came here to challenge myself, and Namibia has not disappointed. I feel honored to have had this opportunity to grow professionally and personally. Namibia has perhaps raised more questions than provided answers, but that is okay with me."
Will Gochberg, Namibia 2009 volunteer
