Winter and Summer Programs

Teaching Arts, English and Tech Abroad

Looking for meaningful ways to teach abroad? At R.O.S.A., we offer flexible programs all year round that give you the opportunity to be a change maker and make a real impact in the world. We welcome teachers who want to volunteer in Africa, Thailand, and Vietnam or join one of our abroad summer programs to help expand education in underserved communities.

Volunteers interested in teaching abroad can make a difference by joining our Training Teachers for Tomorrow, a teacher training program designed and implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Education & Vocational Training of Zanzibar (MoEVT). This is one of the best teach abroad programs, as it focuses on training local teachers to integrate digital literacy and ICT in their high school curriculum and align with international education standards. 

From teaching English and Arts in Thailand and Vietnam to supporting high school educators in Africa, R.O.S.A.’s programs are designed for students, professionals, and retirees who want to build skills, connect globally, and change lives. Our goal is to create engaging and inclusive learning spaces around the world.

“I never imagined I could create change from my laptop. With R.O.S.A., I found purpose, people, and professional growth.”
