What does the volunteer commitment cover?
The volunteer commitment covers the costs of preparing, training, and supporting as a teacher in a developing country. It covers your international airfare and overseas medical coverage, and enables WorldTeach to provide you with organizational support, an intensive in-country orientation, and full-time field staff (usually former WorldTeach volunteers themselves) to assist and support you throughout your service. Specifically, the WorldTeach program cost covers: • International airfare – WorldTeach coordinates the international group travel, informs volunteers of travel plans, makes sure they get air tickets, etc. If a volunteer chooses to travel independently, WorldTeach will deduct the cost of the group airfare from the program fee. If a visa is necessary to enter, live, and/or work in the country, WorldTeach will cover fees up to the cost of a visa for a US citizen. • Supplemental overseas medical coverage and emergency evacuation – WorldTeach provides reliable international health
