International TEFL Academy believes it is our responsibility to leave the world a better place than how we found it. Our staff, instructors and students are Global Citizens, and we realize how fortunate we are to travel and live abroad. We have a commitment to make an impact on the world, both large and small, by direct involvement or by simply spreading the word on what each one of us can do.
As a company we commit a portion of our profits to international charities every year. We also hope to offer guidance and suggestions to others on how they can make a difference in the lives of others around the world.
A few of our charities we are currently or previously have donated to:
