About Us

WorldTeach is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for individuals to make a meaningful contribution to international education by living and working as volunteer teachers in developing countries. Founded in 1986 by Michael Kremer, Gates Professor of Developing Societies at Harvard University and MacArthur Award winner, WorldTeach is now a thriving organization that annually sends about 500 volunteers overseas to 16 countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Europe, and the Pacific Islands. Volunteers can teach a range of subjects, including but not limited to English, math, science, information technology, entrepreneurship, community health, environmental education and HIV/AIDS prevention. Volunteers not only get to choose among the countries, but also among year-long, semester and summer programs. Explore our programs now to figure out where in the world you want to teach!

Special Placements in Costa Rica!

We currently have two placements at the public bilingual elementary schools in Costa Rica. These are volunteer positions with a volunteer commitment fee of $4990 USD. Volunteers will live with host families and receive a monthly stipend of about $125. Volunteers will work 20 hours a week in collaboration with Costa Rican English teachers at these schools. The volunteers will be fulfilling the needs identified by the Costa Rican English teachers which may include assisting with English classes, teaching physical education in English, teaching English in kindergarten, or teaching science in English. These positions are available immediately and WorldTeach Alumni are preferred. Click here for more information.
