Taught to Travel

WorldTeach we are currently seeking volunteer teachers for our
Ecuador Year program starting in February 2017. We have recently added
a scholarship and professional development to this opportunity, which
is perfect for recent grads. Please pass along the information below
to any students/alumni who may be interested. Thank you!

WorldTeach has been serving in Ecuador since 1991, partnering with
different organizations and institutions over the years, all of whom
personally requested and helped fund WorldTeach volunteers. The two
options for placement in Ecuador are teaching public school English
teachers at a community college in the capital city of Quito or
teaching at a university in Riobamba, a smaller mountainous city
located 3-4 hours south of Quito. The volunteer fee for the year
program is $2,150.

With our year-long program, you can also become TEFL certified to earn
credibility and give you an edge in the ESL teaching job market. While
certification usually costs about $1,899, with WorldTeach you can
become certified for only $350 while also gaining priceless in-country
teaching experience.

Through a generous donation, scholarships are now available for the
WorldTeach Ecuador Volunteer program in Quito and Riobamba departing
in February 2017. Receive up to $600 towards your volunteer fee.
