International Language Programs (ILP)

“Words can never explain how grateful I am to have had this experience. The Dominican Republic will always feel like home because of the people who became family. I love these kids with everything in me, and I will forever cherish the memories we made together. “Teacha Broccoli” is my favorite name I’ve ever been called, and I miss hearing it every single day. Te amo, Dominican Republic. ❤️🇩🇴”

What are Local Coordinators?

Something so special about ILP is our local coordinators! We employ local staff who are native to the area and act as our in-country team for managing the program (while also helping the volunteers adjust to their new home!). They act as a liaison from the head teacher/ILP group to the school. They are there for any general needs of the volunteers and are great at helping the volunteers adjust to the country, they speak the local language which can be very useful for any language barriers! Local coordinators keep an eye out for the ILP volunteers and are there to help out when needed. They are an amazing resource while in country and a beloved part of the ILP family!
