Who becomes a WorldTeach volunteer?
WorldTeach volunteers come from diverse backgrounds throughout the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and beyond. Volunteers can be recent college graduates, current college students (for summer programs), working professionals, teachers on sabbatical, couples, retirees, or anyone else who is committed to international service and education. To volunteer with our organization, you are not required to have previous teaching or foreign language experience. However, volunteers should be flexible and have the capacity to handle the excitement of living and working abroad.

Our volunteers have a thirst to experience life in a developing country, a belief in the power of education, a spirit of adventure, and most importantly a desire to make a difference, one student at a time.
