WHAT IS GLOBAL VIRTUAL SCHOOL?
Welcome to Global Virtual School! GVS, a program organized by the Worldwide Education Fund, aims to provide educational opportunities to underprivileged students living in Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan who have limited access to education due to gender, poverty, and other issues. Through GVS, you will have the opportunity to teach weekly lessons as a virtual English teacher to a classroom of eager and ambitious students. In addition to being a teacher, you can also be a grader or participate in Conversation Club, a program where you can engage in discussions with students to aid them in their conversational speaking. We are super excited to be volunteering with you guys this year!
