Because WorldTeach receives no government or significant outside funding, we must ask volunteers themselves to cover most of the expenses associated with their placement, travel, training and support. The reality is that the cost of traveling abroad is very expensive, and thus we discourage people from thinking of the program cost as "paying to volunteer," but rather "paying to live abroad."  If you research other possible ways to volunteer internationally, you will realize that our comprehensive program cost is actually a bargain for the extensive support services we provide. More specific information about the Program Costs and Services is available.

WorldTeach has always encouraged our volunteers to raise the cost of their volunteer service, which we believe invests not only the volunteer, but also the broader community in your experience abroad.  Please click here to learn more about Fundraising your program fee.
