Volunteering in Chiang Mai is possible all year-round at our Language Institute. Our projects include assisting teachers, developing programs and facilities, and interactive education. The assignments will be set up by the LIFE management team taking into consideration your best talents and abilities.  

LIFE programs are designed to meet the growing opportunity and demand for English instruction throughout Thailand while providing courses that will help students living in an urban global society.  The goal of LIFE is to broaden our scope of influence into the wider community by providing:
  • English instruction for children and adults
