About

Our Virtual Impact Program connects volunteers from across the globe with students throughout Latin America, who attend our after-school Virtual English Academy free of charge.

Applications are now open for our Virtual Volunteer English Teacher position to serve young students enrolled in our Virtual English Academy. This position is ideal if you are taking a course that requires a service component or a gap semester/year. Learn teaching and leadership skills while gaining education experience and making a lifetime impact on young students throughout Latin America. You’ll connect 5 days a week for a weekly total of 12 hours of virtual service-learning to provide our students with English instruction and enrichment and inspire them to create opportunities for their futures. If you have native or advanced Spanish skills, you may have the opportunity to lead Spanish enrichment activities. Join us as we bridge cultures digitally and inspire and empower each other to reach our full potential. All it takes is a computer, an internet connection, and a passion for service.

Knowledge of Spanish is not required for this virtual volunteer position, though it may be useful since most of our students are young beginners and we offer Spanish enrichment activities.

Previous experience is not required.

Perks
How will I benefit from volunteering?
You will gain invaluable teaching and leadership skills as well as experience working with children - specifically English Language Learners. If you are considering a career in education, this is an excellent position for you, and if you aren't, you'll grow increasingly prevalent skills for any profession: creativity, adaptability, initiative, public speaking skills, confidence, and comfort working virtually.

How will Outreach360 Virtual English Academy students benefit from my service?
English is a highly sought-after skill for our students and their communities. Opportunities to learn from fluent English speakers are few and far between, not to mention costly, so this is an unparalleled service you can offer. The time you spend with students will have an incredible impact on their education and inspire them to get excited about furthering their English learning. We can guarantee that taking time out of your week to serve our students will make a real difference.
