We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers!
We are continuously looking for volunteers to join us here at Word of Life Poland. There are many ways you can serve with us. Contact us if you are interested in serving an any of the following areas:

Teachers should have experience and a passion for teaching and discipleship.
Background in teaching ESL / EFL is beneficial but not necessary.

We have a full industrial kitchen ready to feed hungry staff and students.
Housekeeping & Cleaning
Our new, state of the art ministry center needs some help staying clean.
Property & Building Maintenance
We need people with handyman skills or landscaping experience.
What should I expect?
Aside from helping our program and property function, you will have many opportunities to befriend and disciple students. Eating meals together, participating in chapel, and having meaningful conversation are all opportunities to impact the lives of students for eternity.
The school schedule runs from Monday night to Friday afternoon each week, leaving the weekends free to rest or experience Polish history and culture.
