Teaching Volunteer Programs
Teaching abroad is a goal for many people, whether they have a degree in education or not. Volunteering in as a teacher or teaching assistant for a short amount of time is an excellent way to test if a career in teaching is a good fit for you without committing to the investment of a TEFL certificate or working abroad full time. Volunteer teaching abroad gives individuals specific classroom experience even before a practicum or student teaching placement is possible, and adds a competitive edge to any education student’s resume.

A Guide to Volunteer Teaching Abroad
Best Locations
In general, the main regions for teaching placements abroad are in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, however, you are likely to find a placement anywhere in the world.
Ecuador is a smart choice for those interested in working on their Spanish language skills, since the Spanish spoken in Ecuador is well-pronounced and easy to understand. Ecuador has an open and welcoming culture, which helps teachers feel involved in the community and get to know the teachers and students easily. Most opportunities for volunteer teaching in Ecuador are centered on teaching English.
The Philippines is an ideal place for volunteer teaching abroad. Many people in the Philippines speak English, so lessons in the arts, healthcare, and technology are still successful even if you do not speak the local language. There are still some opportunities to teach English in rural areas of the country, where schools primarily utilize local dialects.
South Africa offers a wide variety of teaching placements and the choice to volunteer in South Africa as a teacher is a wise one. You can work with children or adults, either at a school or in a community. Volunteers in South Africa may also work at neighborhood centers or in rural villages doing special lessons or workshops.
