Does WorldTeach accept couples?
Yes. However, each application is considered independent of the other, and should be completed individually. Generally, it works best if both individuals are WorldTeach volunteers, although this is not mandatory. Placements for couples can take longer to arrange. The field director will make every attempt to find housing for married couples. If the school cannot provide satisfactory housing however, a couple may need to rent an apartment independently, covering any cost in excess of their regular living allowance. Because of cultural norms in the countries where WorldTeach volunteers work, WorldTeach generally cannot arrange for unmarried couples to live together. However, we will do our best to place unmarried couples near one another.
