The Creative Connections Project links current WorldTeach volunteers and their classes with classrooms in the US to foster creative cultural exchange.

We partner in-country with the following organizations:

The Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica
http://www.mep.go.cr

"We are very happy with the implementation of both Pilot Programs this year, thanks to the co-ordination with the schools and World Teach. Shana is a very professional executive. We hope things will continue working as planned. I also hope to see you back in Costa Rica in the near future." 
--Anabelle Venegas, Coordinadora, Lenguas Extrajeras, MEP
 
The Ministry of Education of the Marshall Islands
http://www.rmiembassyus.org/Education.htm
The World Teach Volunteers are doing a wonderful job of helping set a good example for our Marshallese teachers to follow in terms of being on time and be there to do the job. I'm sure their dedication and good will is paying dividends on our own teachers, not to mention the quality of the education they impart to the students, especially in the English language arts, math, science, social studies, etc. Now if the U.S. PC program should be reinstated in the RMI, the efforts of the USPC Volunteers should complement the efforts of the World Teach Volunteers and the Ministry of Education teachers and administrators. Education is the key to the RMI's success in becoming fully self-sustaining and being weaned from being too dependent on our good and generous benefactor, the U.S.A.
--Alfred Capelle, Ambassador to the United Nations from the Republic of the Marshall Islands
 
Hunan Provincial Education Association for International Exchange
of the People's Republic of China

The Ministry of Education of Pohnpei

The Ministry of Education of Guyanahttp://www.sdnp.org.gy/minedu/index.htm

Words from our Ecuadorian partners: "During the last three years, teachers from World Teach have consolidated the prestige of the program you direct, in which approximately 1500 people have qualified in the acquisition of English language here in Ibarra. Therefore, this means a great benefit to our community. Thank you so much for all your support and cooperation. You are our most distinguished friend. We always remember you with affection and await your return to visit Ecuador again.'"--Mario Garcia Gallegos, Director of CECAMI

"World Teach, its Ecuadorian Field Directors, and its volunteers have been a tremendous asset to our University, and especially to the growth of our EFL center. On behalf of everyone at CEC-EPN, I want to thank you and all those involved in the World Teach program for your contributions to our success as well as to the overall cultural and language training you have afforded the people of Ecuador." -- Henry Guy Gooch , Director de Lingüística e Intercambios Culturales, Centro de Estudios para la Comunidad de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional
