Learning Enterprises connects volunteers who wish to spend their summer teaching in a foreign country with villages and schools around the world who want to provide extra conversation based English classes for their students. The mission of Learning Enterprises is to expand people’s horizons through conversation-based English language classes taught by USA and international volunteers. Our mission is guided by five principles: 1. Fostering creativity in children and adults 2. Expanding horizons through access to the English language as means of communication 3. Promoting understanding through cross-cultural exchange 4. Spreading the spirit of volunteerism 5. Providing substantive and rewarding work experience for young people Our program benefits the children in developing countries who take part in our classes, the host families who open their homes and minds to LE volunteers, and our volunteers who work as teachers for the summer. There is no participation fee for taking part in an LE program, we let our volunteers decide what they want to do in the classroom and we are run entirely by volunteers.
