The Global Language Network

About

Our organization currently offers virtual language and culture classes in over 50 languages per year, including less commonly taught languages, such as Indonesian, Marathi, Greek, Thai, and more! We also offer volunteer teaching fellowships and opportunities for young professionals to serve as interns, leadership fellows, and teaching assistants.

We are currently looking for Fall 2021 teachers who are willing to share their native culture and language with eager students. Additionally, we are looking for Leadership Fellows and Interns who will gain valuable experience in helping run the day-to-day activities of a small nonprofit.
