Volunteers teach conversational English, English as a second language (ELS) or content-based English in middle and high schools, creating opportunities for students and local teachers to contribute to their country's development. In addition to classroom teaching, Volunteers share resources, develop teaching materials with local teachers, and become involved in community- and school-based projects.

[edit] Education

Applicants must have a bachelor's degree in any discipline (not necessarily education).
