SEE TEFL, in partnership with the DSS Education Foundation, is now offering a new Volunteer option along with the traditional 120-hour 4-week complete TEFL certification course.
SEE TEFL certification is a requirement for all DSS volunteers. Other than training costs, the only other volunteer expense is the direct costs of the visa and work permit (less than US$200)
Volunteer Placement
Direct placement in one of a number of volunteer opportunities from preschool through to adult, at no additional cost. Most of these are in the Chiang Mai area. Placements are available in a local temple teaching monks and novice monks; a local orphanage; a government college of nursing and temple schools
