Graduating? Teach in Thailand! Deadline - 12/31
Teach Thailand Corps (TTC), established by the American-Thai Foundation in collaboration with Yonok Foundation, focuses on strengthening primary and secondary school education in Thailand, particularly in high-need areas. TTC recruits and places American graduates in underserved Thai schools to teach English and other subjects.
Thai students equipped with English proficiency are better positioned to succeed in school, work, and life, and to make an impact in their communities – and in particular to better access opportunities arising from the upcoming ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Economic Community integration.
TTC aims to fill the needs of underserved schools in English-language education, and offers an overall enhancement in the quality of teaching and community/school involvement. In developing the program, we have learned from and applied elements of the Peace Corps philosophy of service and learning.
In return, for our teachers’ service, Teach Thailand Corps provides invaluable experience to support each volunteer’s goals of personal and professional development, in preparation for their future careers.
Opportunities abound for travel and internships in various fields of interest, including social work, business, medicine and public health, and international development during school breaks or following the end of the school year. Importantly, our volunteers/teachers will have firsthand exposure to international development in the midst of the dynamic and rising ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region.

Opportunity for Graduates - U.S. English Language Teaching Assistantship in Austria 2016-2017
Each year, more than 140 college graduates from the United States teach in Austria under the auspices of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education (BMB) Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship Program. The purpose of this program, which draws assistants not only from the English-speaking world but also from France, Italy, Russia, and Spain, is to bring talented and enthusiastic young people from abroad into the classrooms of secondary schools in communities large and small all over Austria. Ultimately, it is the job of these native speakers as teaching assistants to make learning a foreign language a lively cross-cultural encounter for their students.
Applications for 2017-18 will be accepted between November 15, 2016 and January 15, 2017
Applications for 2017-18 will be accepted between November 15, 2016 and January 15, 2017
Online political platform launches in Tacoma and Greater Pierce County
It can be a challenge
both locally and nationwide for interested political candidates to find
open positions, deadlines, and learn the requirements for elections.
That may be why only two percent of Americans run for office, and 40
percent of state legislature races in the U.S. go uncontested.
To make the process more accessible, a newly launched online platform called RunForOffice.org is now available to residents of Tacoma and greater Pierce County.
Launched locally, RunForOffice.org is a free platform that gives
people from all backgrounds the tools they need to become elected
officials. Users will find a fully address searchable database, a list
of every elected office in their area, filing requirements and even
training. Start by plugging your zip code into the platform!
The database for this effort was compiled by two University of Washington students.
