English Education Teaching in Viet Nam

We are looking for U.S. citizens who want to be a part of something bigger and are willing to go the distance to make a difference. Is that you?

Viet Nam is a vibrant country filled with natural wonders, welcoming people, and dynamic opportunities. Its rich culture, delicious cuisine, and beautiful landscape offer Volunteers a tremendous backdrop to make a historic impact as part of the fifth cohort to serve in the country.

Volunteers will be assigned to high schools and live in smaller villages on the outskirts of Ha Noi and/or Ho Chi Minh City districts that have been jointly selected by the Peace Corps and the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training. Vietnamese national curricula are followed to prepare students for high-stakes national exams. Volunteers will co-teach and co-plan English classes with their Vietnamese counterparts. In addition to classroom co-teaching, Volunteers may have the opportunity to provide English language practice by implementing extracurricular activities, school events, after-school clubs, and summer activities.

Peace Corps Volunteers:

• Must be U.S. citizens.
• Serve for two years following three months of in-country training.
• In addition to the $375 monthly readjustment allowance, the Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with housing and a living stipend that enables them to live and work alongside the people in their community of service.
• Receive medical and dental care during service.
• Receive transportation to and from the country of service.
• Receive career support and federal hiring benefits when they return home.
•  
• Earn lifetime eligibility for graduate school fellowships through the Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program.
• Must be at least 18 years old (no upper age limit).

When you serve in the Peace Corps, your efforts will have an impact on people’s lives – today and for generations to come. There are six sectors and countless ways you can work with communities to make change together. In addition to the Peace Corps’ two-year Volunteer program, Peace Corps Response offers opportunities for experienced professionals to undertake short-term, high-impact service assignments overseas.
