To be eligible for IFESH volunteer programs, you must:
1. Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
2. Be a college graduate (advanced degree preferred).
3. Have three years of experience as a teacher, professor, or administrator, and meet the medical, legal, and security requirements. (Not a requirement for International Fellows Program applicants.)
In addition to a completed application, applicants must submit:
A cover letter, a resume, three professional or academic letters of recommendation, copies of college transcripts and a one to two-page typed essay. The essay should include your reasons for applying to volunteer, qualifications and experience for participation, and career objectives.
Assignments are filled based on requests from host countries and institutions for volunteers with specific skills. Complete the application and supporting materials as fully as possible to give yourself the best chance for consideration.
We are always happy to hear at any time from potential volunteers to our International Educators for Africa program. However, the deadline to apply for the 2011 - 2012 academic year is March 18, 2011.
