INTERN TEACHER PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Intern Teacher Program provides volunteer teaching assistants to serve as models of language and culture in US schools at all levels, from preschool through university. Interns can be assigned to a school for up to 12 months. Interns assist in the classroom for up to 25 hours per week, take Personal Study Classes and live with American Host Families.
Interns are here to bring their languages and cultures to life, to engage and motivate students and leave them with new confidence in their ability to communicate across borders. Interns inform and inspire, helping students better understand other parts of the world. Our Interns will shape the local community’s perspective on their country, its culture and people. Interns also learn about US culture and gain a deeper understanding of their own. Our final goal is that Interns return home and share what they have learned and experienced with their own communities.
