Volunteer Thailand - Service Learning in Thailand - Rural Thailand Project

From Isaan to the Golden Triangle to the Burmese border, we have scouted volunteer placements with poor countryside schools and Hilltribe villages. Many of the schools are not only unable to afford the instruction of qualified English teachers, but are terribly short-staffed in general. The rural Thai project trains and places TEFL teachers in these schools so that the children can get the education that they deserve.

At Cultural Extremes, we understand that many of our applicants have varied scheduling requirements and the time constraints arising from busy schedules. Hence, we have come up with some wonderful combinations of courses and teaching positions, both long and short term. Please e-mail us for details.
