Position Description

About the Opportunity:

Moo Baan Dek, a democratic school in Thailand, is seeking volunteer English teachers this summer. The school follows the Summerhill approach, an alternative educational philosophy that emphasizes self-directed learning, emotional well-being, and community responsibility. It serves orphaned and impoverished children, providing them with a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn at their own pace in a non-coercive setting.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to:
 ✅ Gain hands-on teaching experience in a unique, student-led learning environment
 ✅ Support students in developing English communication skills
 ✅ Immerse themselves in Thai culture while working with underprivileged youth

Who We’re Looking For:

We welcome applications from education students, recent graduates, and certified teachers who are enthusiastic about teaching and open to new cultural experiences. Prior teaching experience is a plus but not required. 

Program Details:

📍 Location: Moo Baan Dek School, Thailand

 📅 Duration: Summer/Fall 2025 (exact dates flexible) minimum 1 month commitment required

 💡 Covered Costs: Aside from airfare, all logistics—including accommodation, meals, and on-site transportation—will be fully funded by Friends of Children's Village Thailand, a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting Moo Baan Dek and its mission of providing holistic education to vulnerable children.
