Teach children English, gain professional skills and receive career development opportunities

Gain hands on professional experience by teaching children English and become immersed in the culture of Luang Prabang. Luang Prabang is located in the mountains of north central Laos, on a peninsula sided by two rivers where gold domed temples and French Colonial mansions sit side by side, creating a fascinating mixture of heritages.

On this internship you’ll receive structured training during your first 12 weeks whilst working alongside other GVI volunteers. A staff mentor will develop your teaching, leadership and teamwork skills as well as providing you with vital practical teaching experience.

Work placements for your final 12 weeks include schools or language centers where you’ll teach English and assist in managing teaching projects.  These work placements offer the opportunity for you to gain hands-on experience and form a lasting relationship with the community.

The children in Laos need English skills to improve their chances at continued education and a good future job.  Your help is critical to their development, and as you become part of the community, you’ll become not just a teacher, but also a leader and respected role model.

After a successful internship, qualifying candidates may be given the opportunity to work for selected partner organizations or with GVI in Laos, or in other countries around the world.
