VOLUNTEER
We need a lot of volunteers to teach English and help with the children’s education in the rural areas of Thailand. Our program is free. The volunteers are needed to monitor the classrooms of grades 1 to 6. We need fluent English speakers who can commit at least 2 months to a home-stay in Thailand, with food and accommodation provided by our host families near the schools.

Volunteer’s qualification:
1. Speak English very well;
2. Have a degree or be a college student;
3. Have basic knowledge of computers;
4. Be of good character and suitable to be around children.
Volunteer’s work:
Our program requires you to monitor a classroom of 10 – 15 underprivileged children for 4 hours a day. The kids will be learning from our teaching media ,and you will help them do the activities based on the lesson plans we will provide. Encourage them to speak English with you. Outside of the 4 hour requirement, if you feel like helping to teach English to the kids in the other levels of the same school, which is outside of our program, we are sure that the kids and the school’s teachers will highly appreciate it.
