Have your teen get a glimpse into the world of education while gaining certification and boosting their resume with international teaching experience.

 


 


 

Fellows receive:

  • TEFL certification
  • training
  • mentorship

Fellows support young students across Latin America while inspiring them to create opportunities for their futures too.

Our Virtual Impact Program connects volunteers from across the globe with students throughout Latin America, who attend our after-school Virtual English Academy on a full scholarship. The Virtual Summer Teaching Fellowship takes it a step further by offering training, certification, and experience to talented and committed youth ages 13-18 who are interested in a teaching career. 



Fellows will get a
glimpse into the world of education and the tools to snag teaching jobs abroad or online when they’re older. As they do it, they’ll provide young students in Latin America with quality English instruction and inspire them to create opportunities for their futures, too. Applications are now open!

Idyllwild Arts Summer Program

 

Idyllwild Arts has the attention of The Hollywood Reporter, which says, "Lenny Kravitz and Paula Abdul have attended the music school, while Steven Spielberg and Annette Benig have sent children." 

We offer writing, music, theater, film, fashion, dance and visual arts for ages 5 to 18 on a forest campus two hours from Los Angeles. We will be offering fewer workshops due to the new safety limitations on gatherings, but will continue our tradition of offering the highest caliber programs and intensives for the experience of a lifetime. We will be offering Kids, Teen, Adult and Native American Arts workshops this summer.
