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.

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.
