Requirements For Our Volunteer
Program Impacts
We thoroughly research and precisely tailor our Volunteer to Teach English in Jordan program, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a deeper understanding of Jordanian daily life, culture, and communities.
Our primary objective is to create a lasting impact on the lives of the local Jordanian community through the exchange of ideas and the practice of “walking in each other’s shoes.” Volunteering and interning represent a unique opportunity to make a profound impression, impacting not only your own life but also the lives of Jordanian children, women, youth, refugees, and the local community.
Teaching English Over Summer
For people looking to teach English over the summer months (June to late September) in Jordan, Lebanon, or Syria, the Excellence Center in Jordan offers great volunteer teaching opportunities from May to August.
These volunteer and internship programs are ideal for students, native English speakers, or anyone looking to volunteer during an extended visit or on a summer break. The summer teaching volunteer programs combine an Arabic language focus with an immersion and engagement in Jordanian culture and history.
English Classes Size
At the Excellence Center in Jordan, volunteers will conduct one-on-one English tutoring sessions in addition to teaching full classes, which can have from 10 to 20 Jordanian students in attendance. The students’ ages can vary between six and forty years, as Jordanians of all ages are eager to learn new languages and connect with the outside world.
An Opportunity To Explore Jordan
In addition to teaching English to the community here in Amman, volunteers will also have the opportunity to explore the beautiful and historic land of Jordan.
The Excellence Center regularly conducts excursions in and around Amman, and you will also have the opportunity to make your own way to neighboring cities and tourist areas. These excursions are meant to immerse program participants in Jordanian history and to give volunteers a well-rounded understanding of a people and culture that have existed here for thousands of years.
Why Is This An Excellent Opportunity?
Volunteering as an English teacher in Jordan is a great opportunity to gain teaching experience, immerse oneself in a new culture, and aid refugees. Taken together, these activities are sure to make this program a rewarding experience.
One of the most rewarding aspects of your time here will be watching your students improve their English language comprehension. The students, in turn, will share things about Jordanian culture and the Arabic language. Volunteering as an English teacher in Jordan is truly an immersive exchange, and a two-way street between different cultures, languages, and peoples.
