Teaching English In Poland

The Teaching English in Poland (TEIP) program, organized by the Kosciuszko Foundation, is a unique cultural exchange initiative where American volunteers teach English to Polish and Ukrainian students during summer camps.

All camps include room and board (provided by Polish hosts) for the duration of the camps and post-camp tours. Everyone should be able to find something of their interest. Held in picturesque regions of Poland, these camps offer immersive and interactive language experiences through activities such as hiking, dancing, art, cooking, and team-based workshops.

In 2024, the program reached new heights, hosting nearly 700 students across nine camps. Supported by 74 American volunteers.  TEIP fosters English proficiency while promoting U.S. culture, history, and traditions. By blending education with creativity, TEIP empowers students to improve their communication and socio-emotional skills, building confidence and intercultural connections.

Volunteers pay for their airfare to Poland. There is also a non-refundable $125 application fee. 

Applications for volunteers for the Summer 2025 camps will open on December 18, 2024.
