Description

The WorldTeach Poland program offers you the opportunity to have an unforgettable summer experience of educational exchange and cultural immersion in communities that uphold hospitality as a core value.

As a volunteer, you will mainly teach high-school students at your placement site, though some middle-school and elementary-school students will also participate. Volunteers will be responsible for teaching conversational English, basic grammar, and some lessons on American culture. All volunteers will have internet access, and most will also have computer labs to use for instruction. Classes are open to the entire community, allowing students with a wide range of pre-existing English skills to participate.

In addition to their teaching responsibilities, volunteers are also encouraged to actively participate in community life and engage in additional activities or projects of interest. Outside of the classroom, volunteers will have many opportunities to experience Polish life.

Skills

WorldTeach summer programs are open to qualified individuals over the age of 18 (including undergraduates) who are looking for a meaningful, short-term volunteer teaching experience. English language fluency is required. Prior teaching experience is helpful but not required. Interest in teaching, community participation, and development is encouraged. Successful volunteers will be flexible, mature, resourceful, and have a genuine interest in living and teaching in Poland.
