Job description

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?

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.

About the project

Calling all experienced and aspiring educators! Thai primary schools are looking to strengthen English education for grades 1 through 6.
Thailand’s education reforms emphasize communicative English to prepare students for a globalized world. Yet rural schools face challenges, including limited English exposure, mixed-ability classes, and teachers who are juggling other school duties and responsibilities that impact their availability for English support. These factors limit opportunities for lesson planning and professional development, making it difficult for students to gain confidence using English. English proficiencies will expand the academic or professional opportunities available to the students.
As an English Teacher, you will collaborate with local teachers to strengthen English learning through engaging, student-centered approaches and after-school activities that provide additional opportunities for students to practice the language. Your support will extend beyond the classrooms through teacher trainings, English clubs, camps, and community classes.
