See the list of current Group Liaisons to find contact information for your group, or write to alumni@worldteach.org.

Stay involved with your experience!

One of the best ways to continue the work you did as a WorldTeach volunteer is to reach out to the community as a WorldTeach alumni networker.  We are continually looking for college/recruitment fair representatives, references, interviewers, airport departure meeting leaders, and Group Liaisons to develop alumni relationships as well as recruit new volunteers to continue the WorldTeach mission.

WorldTeach often looks to returned volunteers to fill open positions in our U.S. and field offices.  Check the jobs page for current opportunities!


College/Recruitment Fair Representatives

Returned volunteers can volunteer as campus/recruitment fair representatives at either local colleges and universities or their alma maters.  We need representatives to meet with people in Career Services and other appropriate centers to introduce the WT program and to place materials in the library and resource areas as well as to serve as a contact person for potential volunteers.  Representatives may also hold informational evenings on campus, if they are willing. Occasionally we look for a local representative to go to a college or university career fair. These are usually during the day. Contact alumni@worldteach.org if you are willing to help.  This job can be as large or as small as you would like to make it.

References

Being a WorldTeach reference simply means that you are willing to speak over the phone with potential candidates about your experience. With your permission we would give potential volunteers your email or phone number so that you can arrange to speak with them about the life of a WT volunteer.  You may tell us the maximum number of persons you are willing to talk with.

Interviewers

We require that each of our year-long program applicants have an interview with a returned WorldTeach volunteer whenever possible. We will give the applicant your contact information in order to arrange a time for an interview at your convenience. We will send you interview guidelines and questions to prepare you for meeting the applicant.  You can meet with as many or as few interviewees per year as you would like-please let us know approximately how many times per year we may contact you by emailing alumni@worldteach.org.

Airport Departure Meeting Leaders

Most of our volunteers travel with the group from a designated departure city in the U.S. Before they go, we hold a mandatory departure meeting to make sure everyone is together safely, and to discuss the adventure ahead of them. Your role at the departure meeting would be to gather the volunteers and have a meet-and-greet session before they go off to the gate. It is their last personal contact with the U.S. WorldTeach representatives before leaving, and we usually like a returned volunteer to do it so they can respond to any fears or emotions about their impending departure. We are especially looking for RWTVs living in LA, NYC, Miami, and Houston, where our group flights generally depart from.

Group Liaisons

Since volunteers identify most closely with others from their departure group, we ask one person from each departure group to serve as a liaison for the entire group. At their end-of-service conference, each WorldTeach group elects a representatve to keep their group connected to each other, and to WorldTeach.

The primary responsibilities of Group Liaisons are to:
. Stay in contact with the members of their volunteer group.
. Relay updated addresses, emails, and news to the WorldTeach office.
. Organize other activities such as creating a newsletter or organizing a reunion for the group.
. Keep in touch with the Alumni Coordinator at WorldTeach in case there are any special alumni events or special projects for which we need help!

If you are not a Group Liaison, stay connected to WorldTeach by contacting your Group Liaison and letting them know what you're up to! They are our link to your group.

See the list below to find out who your Group Liaison is.  If your group doesn't have one and you are willing to volunteer, contact alumni@worldteach.org.
