English Teacher in Zambia
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?
In more than 60 countries, Peace Corps Volunteers are putting their purpose, passion, and skills to work in partnership with welcoming host communities – growing, teaching, learning, and making change together.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll live and work alongside community members on locally prioritized projects, receiving a stipend and other support as you immerse yourself in a new culture. You’ll build relationships, exchange knowledge, and help transform lives for generations.
Project description
Are you eager to learn as much as you teach? A school in Zambia is waiting for you.
English is the official language of Zambia, yet only 2 percent of the population speaks English as a first language. Some Zambians, especially in rural areas, never acquire any proficiency in English. While the Ministry of Education’s curriculum is currently undergoing revisions that may impact classroom instruction, classes are still taught in the local language.
As an English Teacher Trainer, you will support the development of language skills. Through daily conversations with students, teacher, and the community, you will provide opportunities for them to practice their English and communicate more confidently.
Peace Corps Volunteers:
- Must be U.S. citizens.
- Serve for two years following three months of in-country training.
- In addition to the $10'800 service award, 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 transportation to and from the country of service.
- Often learn a new language during service
- Earn lifetime eligibility for graduate school fellowships through the Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program.
