Description: Help children learn English in China, Russia, Ukraine or Mexico!

International Language Programs (ILP) is a non-profit service organization based in Provo, Utah that sends 18-25 year old volunteers to share the valuable gift of the English language with young children around the world. ILP currently has programs in Russia, China, Japan and Ukraine and always welcomes new locations. Over 3000 volunteers have served with ILP, with numbers growing quickly.

Highlights: - Serving and helping others: Service to others is important. If you go abroad to enjoy the people and culture, why not give something to them in return? On ILP service abroad, just by playing with cute kids, you develop close relationships. By teaching them English using an easy-to-learn, successful method, you open doors for them for better education, jobs, and other opportunities.

- High standards: You shouldn't have to worry about getting into an awkward situation in another country because of your standards. ILP volunteers have a strict code of conduct based on standards similar to your own. Host families and schools are supportive of these standards.

- Don't get behind in school: A semester abroad should enhance your education and shouldn't put you behind in school. Although you don't need to, many of our volunteers also arrange credits through their local U.S. university while they serve.

- Low cost: This is one of the best parts! When ILP was organized fourteen years ago, we decided to organize it as a charitable organization, so that volunteers could raise tax-deductible donations to pay for the costs. For a 4 to 5 month experience abroad, the program fee is only USD2,320, and most volunteers fundraise to reduce or even eliminate the entire amount! Yes, many volunteers fundraise the entire cost of their semester abroad! Fundraising is hard work, but even more rewarding, just like the ILP experience!
