VOLUNTEERING IN THAILAND
Volunteer Program Overview
Our Volunteer Program has been carefully crafted to ensure
that your experience is as rewarding and enjoyable as possible
- for you, and for your students. The 8 week program includes
2 weeks of abbreviated TEFL / TESOL (Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages) training at our training center
in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. You will then return to Thailand
to spend 6 weeks teaching and changing lives at one of the
LanguageCorps' partner orphanages or schools. In your free
time you can enjoy cultural dinners with your peers, trips
to the beach and countryside, and all the experiences a
country as foreign and unique as Thailand has to offer.
Location & Where You'll Be Teaching
Phnom Penh is the home of our combined training facility,
which hosts the initial training for participants in all
the LanguageCorps Asia programs. This facility is the result
of a unique partnership between LanguageCorps and Pannasastra
University. Volunteer accommodations are provided in a villa
or guesthouse in central Phnom Penh near the famous Russian
Market. This convenient location provides easy access to
sights and amenities, and is approximately 10-12 minutes
from the University and the center of town. Teaching assignments
will be at a LanguageCorps affiliated orphanage or school,
where you will be working with children or young adults.
Most of the students are fifteen or younger, and are eager
for the opportunity to learn English - which they may then
leverage into jobs as English teachers, working in Tourism,
or other professions such as computer science.
Volunteer Language and Culture Program
The first 2 weeks of the program will be spent in basic
TEFL / TESOL training. This course will give you many of
the skills and experiences necessary to make your teaching
adventure a successful one. As part of the training process,
you will be taught some of the basics of Thai language and
culture, further acclimating you to your new environment.
With the groundwork for success laid, you will be ready
to move on to your 6 week teaching assignment in Thailand.
Transportation is provided to and from your teaching assignment.
This program was designed to allow you to spend the bulk
of your time teaching, rather than in training. However,
if you wish to take the full four week training course and
achieve TEFL / TESOL certification, please speak with your
LanguageCorps representative. You will still be able to
volunteer part-time during training, and we'd be happy to
work with you to extend your teaching assignment.
