We are an easygoing education-focused nonprofit that, since our founding in 1992, has recruited hundreds of college-age volunteers to spend their summers teaching conversation-based English language in rural villages and developing areas around the world. We are entirely staffed by volunteer alumni who return to LE to continue serving our mission of expanding horizons and spreading volunteerism around the world.
Our 9 programs are located in 11 countries, and our volunteers teach approximately 6,000 students each summer! Check out the Our Programs tab for further information on each or view Which Program is Right for Me? for a side by side comparison. If you are ready to apply, you can do so from this website. We also invite you to join us in service by donating to our Village Sponsorship Project.
