International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language

Linking, developing and supporting English Language Teaching professionals worldwide

Volunteering

As a charity we are always looking for volunteers who can support our aims to link, develop and support English Language Teaching professionals around the world.

If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, here are some questions you might want to ask yourself first:

Can I offer what is needed?

  1. Do I have reliable internet access?
  2. Am I free to attend two or three face-to-face or conference call meetings per year?
  3. In between meetings can I contact others to prepare practical suggestions for discussion and action?
  4. Can I actively contribute to IATEFL policy?
  5. Can I promote IATEFL and recruit new members?
  6. Can I help organise local events?
  7. Which special skills can I offer that would be of value? Experience in publishing, running conferences, fundraising, and organising local groups are always important.

Note: Volunteering may also require travel and accommodation. IATEFL can reimburse these costs, within our current limits.

If you want to proceed please look out in our eBulletin and other communications for a Call For Volunteers, or contact your SIG Coordinator.
