Project description
Calling all educators and recent graduates eager to make a difference! Schools in Kosovo are looking to practice their English language skills with a native speaker and develop skills to enable their future success.
Kosovo, a young nation that declared independence in 2008, is working to build a strong future amid economic challenges and high unemployment rates. Education plays a critical role in this effort, yet many schools face limited resources and traditional teaching methods that do not fully prepare students for global opportunities. To address these challenges, there is a need to introduce student-centered methodologies, improve lesson planning, and foster critical thinking skills in classrooms. This work not only enhances language proficiency but also equips students with life skills essential for success in a rapidly changing world.
As an English Teacher, you will collaborate with local educators and school staff to support English language learning and extracurricular activities. Together, you will expand opportunities for youth and women, promote leadership development, and strengthen community ties. Your service will have a lasting impact, helping Kosovo’s vibrant young population unlock their potential and contribute to the country’s growth.

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree in any discipline and a strong desire to teach English
