What Our Community Is Saying 💬

Carmel

"It is extremely rare to find a nonprofit that does its job as well as Outreach360 does. I highly recommend it as a volunteer experience. I have volunteered for several nonprofits since retiring as a teacher, many in Latin America, many with teaching as a focus. In my experience volunteering I had come to expect a certain amount of chaos, disorganization and amateurish reinvention of the wheel as part of the package. I was pleasantly surprised that this was not at all the case with Outreach360. From the first day of training (a great rarity) to the last note of appreciation (another rarity) I experienced a superb organization, run with competence, vision, and a great deal of respect for volunteers, staff and students."

"What really struck me about this experience was the incredible support from the teachers and staff. They were not just helpful; they were compassionate and accommodating. They genuinely cared about both the students' well-being and their English skills. Whenever I needed assistance or guidance, they were there to lend a hand. It made the whole teaching process a breeze. But the real stars of the show were the students. They were not only eager to learn but also incredibly appreciative. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it made each day a joy. Their genuine gratitude for our efforts was heartwarming and made the whole experience worthwhile. Whether you're an experienced English teacher looking for a change of pace or a newbie like me, Outreach 360's Virtual Volunteer English Teacher position is a fantastic opportunity. It's a chance to try something new or, more importantly, to make a real impact in the lives of young learners."

"The teachers inspire me because they are volunteers saying, ‘Hey, these children want to reach their goals, so I'm going to help them.’ They empower me because they're helping us to learn, and that's so kind. It's so amazing that they want to help kids! They show us many things, and they are so brave. They inspire me because they are sure of the decision that they want to encourage us. They are not only my teachers, they're my friends and family. They have helped me overcome my fears."

"I volunteered with Outreach360 the summer before my senior year of college. I had decided I wanted to apply for a Fulbright grant to teach English abroad, and I wanted to gain some experience with teaching before I applied. This is how I found Outreach360. One of the best parts about getting involved was that no experience is required, and Outreach360 provides training to make sure all the teachers are as successful as possible. My time with Outreach360 allowed me to gain valuable experience and further cemented my desire to teach English. I learned different teaching strategies based on the needs of each kid I worked with. The kids and other teachers in this program are all amazing, and volunteering quickly became my favorite part of the day. I highly recommend getting involved with this amazing organization."

"My students were bright, engaging, and genuinely some of the most passionate people I have ever met. I learned a tremendous amount about myself as a leader and volunteer, becoming a more compassionate and thoughtful educator and person in the process. The staff dedicates every waking moment to making sure that the students get access to opportunities otherwise unavailable to them and works hard to support and guide volunteers. It is a thoughtfully organized group that utilizes its volunteers and resources to the fullest potential in order to maximize growth in the students.
