As you may remember we are an English teacher training school based in Barcelona and run monthly TEFL courses for English speakers who are looking to teach English and travel. The school is externally validated by Trinity College London and also rated as one of the top TEFL schools in Spain, according to previous graduate reviews and feedback. I feel this could be a potential opportunity for many of your students who have a passion for language, would like an additional qualification and may be looking for summer work / travel options. We had a very positive response last year from New York graduates and undergraduates and it would be great to repeat this again in 2019. I have attached a poster<https://tefl-iberia.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=14228e00bf6efc88dcde3…> (200KB, pdf) should you wish to circulate it amongst your students.

All students are eligible for some aid, but the overwhelming amount of applications we have received means we will be re-assessing our aid contributions at some point during the Spring. We will endeavour to provide as much support as possible to Students, but sadly it is not an unlimited resource! As such, I would again encourage students who aim to rely on our Student Aid offering to apply sooner rather than later<https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/2O763oO9NXZ763HUjKgB1ROM2A/PKWZzFc…>.

[Englishstudents] Post grad opportunity for your students: the Jewish Service Corps!
by English 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

My name is Lena Kesden. I’m reaching out as the Recruitment Assistant for the Avodah Jewish Service Corps<https://avodah-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1MyFiaN4LfbxtI0v4aq…>, a year-long program for recent college grads that provides the opportunity to build the foundations for careers, an active Jewish community, and lifelong activism in social and economic justice movements. We are currently seeking individuals 21-26 with a strong interest in anti-poverty work and a desire to learn in an inclusive Jewish framework. I believe students in your classes would be strong fits for this opportunity! Our Corps Members build real world expertise through work placements with Avodah’s partner organizations in Chicago, New Orleans, New York and Washington, D.C. They contribute to our partners’ work on crucial justice issues such as immigration, hunger, education, public health, and domestic violence while developing activist chops and Jewish social justice insights through Avodah’s trusted, innovative curriculum. During the year, Corps Members live and learn in the dynamic Avodah community. The program provides a monthly living stipend, travel allowance, health insurance, and subsidized housing, in addition to a year of professional and leadership development. After the year, participants will access activism, professional development, and Jewish opportunities for life through the Avodah alumni community. I want to support your students in developing their careers and engaging in critical anti-poverty work. Students can reach out to me directly or visit avodah.net/serve<https://avodah-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1MyFiaN4LfbxtI0v4aq…>. The second deadline is February 20th. We also accept applications on a rolling basis. This is truly a program that changes lives and shapes futures. I know that right now, many seniors on your campus are wondering what they can do to help create a more just America, or how to build a career that makes a difference in people’s lives. The Avodah Jewish Service Corps is a perfect place to start.
