About The Job
Do you have a desire to support youth in gaining skills to boost their confidence and ability to succeed in the future? There’s a place for you in Thailand.
Rural communities in Thailand are seeking support to help the youth develop strong leadership and life skills, so they can reach their personal goals and contribute to the development of sustainable communities. This type of support is crucial because youth in rural Thailand lack opportunities for skill-building and extracurricular activities, which are essential for developing confidence, communication, and leadership skills. Local teachers and officials often lack a high level of English proficiency and training in positive youth development principles, partly due to limited resources and conservative worldviews. Additionally, rural schools face staffing shortages and economic disparities compared to Bangkok and other large cities, making it difficult to provide quality education and enrichment programs.
As a Youth Development Facilitator, you will collaborate with local school staff to bridge these educational gaps by introducing innovative, youth-centered projects and fostering collaboration among community stakeholders. Together, you will teach the youth (ages 9-15) conversational English and support youth-oriented activities.
Activities
How you and the community will make an impact together:
Conduct community assessments to determine areas of priority and interest.
Teach conversational English and life skills, such as critical thinking and leadership.
Facilitate extracurricular activities for youth, such as after-school clubs, community service projects, and sports.
