About The Position

Public schools in Georgia are looking for recent graduates and experienced educators alike to support the country’s English language programs and youth engagement. Georgia is currently experiencing a declining youth population due to decreasing birth rate, migration of young people, and a cultural shift to delayed parenthood. This makes investing in youth all the more important. However, many public schools, especially those in rural and underserved communities, face significant challenges that hinder their ability to equip students with essential English skills. These challenges include limited resources, technology, access to authentic language practice, and non-formal education opportunities. As an English Teacher, you will collaborate with local educators to strengthen English language proficiency through the creation of sustainable teaching materials and meaningful opportunities for language practice. As a native English speaker, your daily interactions with students and staff will naturally support language development. Together with your colleagues, you will foster community engagement and employability skills for a more prosperous future.
