Teach English to Youth and Adults
You can help advance Poland's impressive progress as a global model of democracy. Part of overcoming the past and joining the European Union required a bold investment in children and youth who hold the country's future in their minds and hearts. English has become the language of commerce, technology and opportunity worldwide.Our partner communities' students greatly value the opportunity to learn American English (the language of the internet) from native speakers to enhance their opportunities to be successful in a highly competitive job market.Our dedicated host partner works to ensure that you are engaged in volunteer service projects to maximize your individual contribution. Teach English to youth and adults, nurture at-risk children, and support disabled people of all ages. Demonstrate the great value of true people-to-people service and discover your "inner child" in a friendly and historic Eastern European community.
"The Poland Program was one of the really great experiences of my life!" ~Teddy Logan Kinney, 2010 volunteer
