Young Life || Teacher Staff – Brno, Czech Republic

Description:

​Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, with almost 90,000 university students. There are many international IT companies in Brno, which creates a diverse population in the city. Young people in the city value learning English, and native English speakers are more than welcome into schools, universities and businesses in Brno.


Young Life has existed in Brno since 2013 and has been growing its ministry and leadership team with Young Life and WyldLife. The role of teacher staff would be to continue to develop relationships with two different schools that Young Life has already begun in the city, as well as to build relationships with students and be an active part of the ongoing Young Life ministry. Being an English teacher is a great way to be in the schools, meet young people, as well as offer a skill to develop young people that is highly sought after in the Czech Republic — that is speaking English. The teacher staff will be working alongside current staff, which includes the area director and one part-time Czech staff.
