English and Leadership Educator - Volunteer Position - Onsite in Mongolia • Asia - 2 years, plus 3 months training
United States
Posted on Jul 1, 2026
About The Project
Whether you’re a recent graduate, mid-career professional, or retiree, you can make a meaningful impact on the lives of Mongolian youth by enhancing their English language and leadership skills.
English proficiency is increasingly vital for educational, employment, and global opportunities. With nearly one-third of Mongolia’s population under the age of 35, the country’s future economic and social progress depends on preparing this generation to compete and collaborate on an international scale. Mongolia’s commitment to preparing its youth for global opportunities is reflected in making English language learning a national priority. Mongolian English teachers’ language skills have not kept up with demand, and most English classes are still being conducted in Mongolian. The Ministry of Education has requested additional support for youth development through clubs and extracurricular activities. There is a need to strengthen students’ English skills; however, it is equally important to develop youth leadership skills by building on youth interests, supporting personal goal setting, and promoting available opportunities.
As an English and Leadership Educator, you will work alongside Mongolian teachers to strengthen English instruction through engaging, student-centered approaches. Beyond the classroom, you’ll support extracurricular activities—from English teacher trainings and youth clubs to student councils and summer camps—creating rich opportunities to practice English and build confidence and leadership skills. Your efforts will help young people become active, capable members of their communities while contributing to the country's long-term growth and stability.
Activities
How you and the community will make an impact together:
Teach engaging English classes that support various proficiency levels and learning styles.

Facilitate extracurricular activities for students, such as camps, clubs, and mentoring programs.
Guide and coach youth leaders through the process of taking community action based on youth-prioritized issues.
Train young leaders on the implementation of positive youth development program activities.
You may also work on additional projects that meet the community’s interests and priorities, such as professional workshops or tourism development projects.
