WorldTeach

WorldTeach is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that provides opportunities for individuals to make a meaningful contribution to international education by living and working as volunteer teachers in developing countries.

WorldTeach was founded by a group of Harvard students in 1986, in response to the need for educational assistance in developing countries. It also addressed a growing interest among people in the U.S. and elsewhere to serve, teach and learn as volunteers overseas. Since its inception, WorldTeach has placed thousands of volunteer educators in communities throughout Asia, Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Pacific.

Based at the Center for International Development at Harvard University, WorldTeach offers the benefits of a well-established volunteer organization, while also providing more comprehensive, personalized support and training as a small NGO.   In each of our programs, volunteers are placed in schools and host communities in developing countries that specifically request WorldTeach volunteers and would otherwise be unable to afford or locate qualified teachers.  Volunteers receive training, language preparation, and field support, empowering them to make an impact that will last long after they leave.

We invite you to join the growing community of volunteers by becoming a WorldTeach teacher!

Our mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict: away from adversarial approaches, toward cooperative solutions.

Although the world is overly polarized and violence is much too prevalent, we remain essentially optimistic. Our view is that, o­n the whole, history is moving in positive directions. Although some of the conflicts we are currently dealing with may seem intractable, there are successful examples of cooperative conflict resolution that we can look to for inspiration - such as in South Africa, where an unjust system was transformed through negotiations and an inclusive peace process.

ACORD was established in 1976 as a consortium of international agencies headquartered in the North to provide its members with operational capacity to address poverty issues resulting from the drought in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2001, ACORD was implementing 45 long-term community-based development programmes in 17 countries in Africa focusing primarily o­n poverty alleviation. Throughout its history, it remained independent of political or religious orientation.

ACORD has now refocused its vision, profile and strategic orientation. Based o­n a joint analysis with its partners of the issues and challenges that are currently facing Africa, and backed by its reputation and experience for cutting edge research and development practice, it is building its future as a genuinely international Africa-led alliance of groups and individuals addressing aspects of rights and social justice that underlie the poverty of those o­n the fringes of African societies. ACORD now seeks to go beyond addressing the consequences of poverty to understanding, challenging and changing the conditions that cause poverty and exclusion through a global programme that unites practical work with advocacy. ACORD believes that people have a right to a just and equal society, and it is committed to making that right a reality.
