WorldTeach volunteers come from diverse backgrounds throughout the U.S. and abroad. Volunteers can be recent college graduates, current college students (for summer programs), working professionals, married 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.
