Middle and High School English Teacher in Colombia

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?

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.

About the project

Bring your love for language learning to Colombia and position students for a successful future.

In Colombia, English proficiency is the pathway to global academic and professional opportunities. However, schools often lack sufficient educators trained in the student-centered methodologies needed for effective language acquisition. To meet this need, Colombia’s national bilingualism program aims to introduce dynamic teaching methods, supportive classroom resources, and innovative ways to integrate English into daily school life. Adults are equally excited to develop English skills with a native speaker.

As a Middle and High School English Teacher, you will collaborate with educators to enhance English instruction and boost language retention in alignment with the national English language curriculum. Through engaging clubs and camp activities, you and your colleagues will encourage students to practice English, building their confidence in using the language. You will also create meaningful opportunities for fellow teachers and the broader community.
