Teach English - Mae Sot, Thailand | ESL TEFL Job

The Burma Volunteer Program (BVP), a project under Thabyay Education Network, was set up in Thailand in January 2001 to bridge the gap between pro-democratic Burmese organizations looking for assistance and volunteers wishing to donate time and skills toward the creation of a democratic and just Burma.

Since then, BVP has placed nearly 400 volunteers whose duties have ranged from teaching English communication and social sciences to report writing and human rights documentation. BVP currently has multiple volunteer requests from various civil society groups along the Thai-Burma border. The minimum commitment for volunteers is 3 months, and volunteers are required to attend a 2-day orientation in Mae Sot before starting their placement.

BVP does not charge a program fee, and prides itself on the fact that many volunteers have leveraged their volunteer experience to gain full-time employment with both international NGOs and host organizations at the border. Positions are non-remunerated, however, accommodation, 2-3 meals per day, as well as local transport (where applicable) are provided throughout the placement. Volunteers are responsible for their own airfare, health insurance, and incurred travel expenses.

Candidates should be native English speakers, or fluent English speakers with EFL qualifications and/or experience. Experience with human rights or international politics is a plus.
