Teach in China: Since 2004, Global Crossroad has remained a leading teacher placement agency for China – sending 200 English-teachers each year. In our efforts to provide more teaching abroad positions, we recently teamed up with some of the most reputable and well-respected schools and educational partners in China.
Global Crossroad is committed to providing our volunteers with several important opportunities and experiences:
 |
The opportunity to work with orphaned children, disadvantaged local residents, and rural women's groups where volunteers can leave lasting, positive results in the lives of the less fortunate. |
 |
Meaningful volunteer abroad opportunities, a caring host family, and the strong support of a local in-country coordinator and professional staff members in the field. |
 |
The opportunity to travel, to participate in cross-cultural learning, to be a part of an exciting expedition, and to learn and enjoy the “learning and earning experience” in our paid, English-teaching positions. |
