WorldTeach - Volunteer Teaching in Poland

WorldTeach Poland volunteers will spend the summer in rural areas surrounding small cities. Mainly high school students, but occasionally some middle school or even elementary school students participate in the "Wakacje z angielskim" (or "Vacation with English") summer program.

Class size will vary between 10 and 15 students. Volunteers will be responsible for teaching conversational English, basic grammar, and some lessons on American culture. Classes are open to the entire community, allowing students with a wide range of preexisting English skills to participate. Through the support of WorldTeach volunteers, students' have the opportunity to improve their understanding of American culture and to engage in community projects.

Outside of the classroom, volunteers will have many opportunities to experience both traditional and modern Polish life. Trips to major cultural sites in the region and celebrations with host communities supplement the program, particularly during the orientation, mid-service, and end-of-service conferences when the group convenes.
