We have just confirmed three more volunteer placements at Rising Star Outreach, an NGO dedicated to helping leprosy-affected families. WorldTeach volunteers there will teach computer skills and English to the children. Volunteers may also elect to help in the nearby leprosy colonies either through a medical mission or by teaching children who cannot attend school. Volunteers depart this summer for orientation and must commit to 11 months of volunteering. Applications are accepted on a rolling admissions basis until filled. Click here for more information.
Upcoming Webinars
Webinars are interactive online presentations designed to facilitate dialogue among WorldTeach staff and interested applicants who are looking to make informed decisions about their experience abroad. Topics range from overview of the organization, to program-specific information, to fundraising tips, to navigating the online application. Register now for the upcoming webinars!
WorldTeach is pleased to announce our newest program in Chile that is set to depart in early July. Through a partnership with Fundación Educacional Oportunidad Volunteers, WorldTeach volunteers will teach English at public elementary and middle schools, though some volunteers might teach older students as well. Volunteers will live with host families relatively near their school campuses in either Vicuña or Paihuano. Volunteers in this program are eligible to receive TEFL certification through our accredited certification program. Applications are accepted on a rolling admissions basis until May15, 2012. Apply now to be a part of this inaugural group! Click
