My name is Stephanie from the English Opens
Doors Program and I am writing you today with a very exciting update for the
graduating students at your institution! Our Program has added a second
volunteer service for the second semester in the Chilean Public school
system! What does this mean for your students? For the first time, we
have two program start dates in August! Students graduating in April, May,
or June will have an increased chance to start their professional career with
our fantastic opportunity!
As you may remember from my previous emails, the English Opens Doors Program is a fee-free,
volunteer initiative which invites native and near-native speakers to
volunteer-teach English in the Chilean public school classrooms. We are a part of the Ministry of Education in Chile and supported
by the United Nations Development Program and our goal is to improve public
education in Chile, and increase the level of opportunities available to
students who can’t afford to pay for a privately funded education.
Please refer to the table below to see our available 2015 volunteer
services and their application deadlines!

Also, as a former volunteer myself, I recently wrote an article
based on my experience with the English Opens Doors Program for the Seattle Globalist. If you would like to read about my experience with this
volunteer opportunity or share it with your students or alumni, you can find
the article by clicking on the link provided!
As always, thank you so much in advance for your support of our
program by sharing this opportunity with your students, friends and those you
feel would be interested!
If you have any questions, or would like to further discuss our
volunteer opportunities (via e-mail, skype, or even scheduling a video
conference with interested persons), please do not hesitate to contact me at Stephanie.hairgrove@mineduc.cl, or by responding to this email.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Hairgrove
