Position Description:
The Marina Orth Foundation is an international education NGO with over 10 years of experience
based in Medellin, Colombia. At the Foundation, we teach students STEM + H (science, technology,
engineering, mathematics + humanities) leaderships skills and develop extracurricular activities
that focus on English and robotics. We believe that, given the tools and skills needed to compete
in the 21st century, children from socioeconomically vulnerable backgrounds can perform equally
or better than graduates of the best schools in the world.
The Foundation is looking for volunteer English teachers willing to work for a period of one year.
English volunteers will be assigned to a school within the city of Medellin or the nearby town of El
Carmen. They will co-teach English classes with the Foundation’s English teachers and run
extracurricular English clubs. Volunteers receive support, accommodations, and a stipend from the
Foundation in return for 40 hours of work per week. The language requirements for this position
are English fluency or C1-level proficiency and Spanish B1-level proficiency.
