Myanmar is in the throes of rapid change, offering visitors an extraordinary
opportunity to witness this transformation first-hand. As the country opens up
to the outside world and resources flood in, local businesses and organizations
are rising to the challenge in new and inspired ways. You can be part of that
change as you contribute to their efforts and develop new skills, while
learning more about this fascinating country at a crossroads.
You’ll be matched with a host organization that fits your skill-set, and
connected with language-learning and cultural exchange experiences.
Participants will be accepted on a rolling basis until the program is full.
Applicants can expect to receive a response within two days of completing an
application.
