Teach English skills in classrooms, offices and small groups as a short-term volunteer in Vietnam. Growing out of rural community development projects in 1995, our Vietnam partnership helps propel youth and adults toward their educational and career goals. Review the standard volunteer work schedule here for volunteers who teach English in Vietnam.
“Working with enthusiastic and energetic adolescent school children was a two-way learning experience and very satisfying. Teaching English, playing word games and the ever-popular spoons, and a bit of sports was a lot of fun. The hotel was quite pleasant and perfectly located. The Vietnamese food was superb, and Hanoi had a number of sites worth seeing. This was my sixth Global Volunteers program, and it’s hard to pick which one I liked the best.”
– Ken Dubuque, Vietnam Alumna
