Description

The Amity Intern Program focuses on 3 main components:

Cultural Immersion - Interns live with an American Host Family or on-campus. Interns see the US, make new friends and begin a life changing adventure!

Learning - Interns gain valuable international teaching experience, learn about American culture, participate in the community, and significantly improve English skills. Internships may vary in length with a maximum stay of 1 year.

Teaching - Interns assist a foreign language teacher in the classroom for approximately 32 hours a week, share language and culture with US students, and often fulfill their university requirement of a teaching internship in an English speaking country.

Highlights
