Teach for Myanmar

Through placing experienced volunteers, Teach for Myanmar (TFM) aims to provide education to individuals from civil society organizations in Myanmar in order to equip them with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and qualifications necessary to pursue their goals related to the social, civic, and economic development of the country. TFM seeks to place dedicated, flexible and hard working people in Myanmar to teach mostly English, with some opportunities to teach Social Sciences and conduct trainings and workshops in other areas, for a minimum of 2.5 months. Our program has no fees, and our in country staff provide social, logistical, teaching and some financial support. Our partners are community based organisations focused on inspiring and training young adults that want to give back to their communities. Teachers usually have 15-20 hours of in class time per week, as well as planning their lessons and traveling to and from classes. Volunteering with TFM requires pragmatism, patience, independence, initiative and a genuine respect for the host people and their culture.
