In partnership with Ministries of Education and local organizations,
WorldTeach volunteers serve in 6 Latin American countries:

Guyana
Chile
Colombia
Costa Rica
Ecuador
Panama

While volunteers in Guyana teach math and science, volunteers in the Chile
Patagonia Sur Year (different from Chile program) teach environmental
studies, and those in the remaining programs teach English at various
levels. The majority of the programs depart in Jan or Feb of 2013, with the
exception of Guyana which departs in August. Our programs vary in length,
allowing volunteers to choose among summer, semester, and year-long
programs. Those who are interested in pursuing a career in teaching abroad
might also be interested in participating in our accredited TEFL
certification program. *We invite you to learn more about these programs at
our website www.worldteach.org. **Many of **the programs have a deadline in
October, so make sure to get started on your application soon!*

WorldTeach is a well-established NGO founded in 1986 by a group of Harvard
students who were motivated by the desire to promote education at the local
level in places where teachers and resources were lacking. Each year, we
send about 500 volunteers, impassioned by that same desire, to the local
schools and the host communities in developing countries around the world
that have specifically requested our support. Since our inception, we have
placed over 5,000 volunteers, providing them with teacher training,
language preparation, and field support, empowering them to affect lasting
change on the community they work with so that their influence will survive
their experience. Fully and partially funded programs available for
year-long and semester programs.
