EF is the world’s leading educational travel provider with over 55 years of experience. With our International Summer Schools, we offer young learners the opportunity to spend 2 – 4 weeks in North America, improving their English language skills in a robust program while participating in a full-activity program of sports, discos, parties, excursions, and lots more!
About the role
In this role, you will lead and actively engage in a safe, organized, meaningful, enriching, and fun Global Leadership program for groups of international summer students, primarily ages 13-17. The program should focus on the work of the United Nations (UN) and the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an urgent call for action by a global partnership of all developed and developing countries to end poverty, improve health and education, reduce inequality, spur economic growth, tackle climate change, and work to preserve our oceans and forests.
Each weekday, students will enjoy their English classes in the morning. The other half of the day, students will meet to discuss the goals that mostly closely align with their home county and present a resolution project of how they will address one of the SDGs when they return home. In addition, students will visit the United Nations in New York. This visit will allow students to discuss how to lead the building of a global partnership aimed at sustainable development to improve human lives and protect the environment worldwide.
