Are you an English or Spanish language teacher with a passion for education, people, and travel?


We are seeking volunteer English and Spanish language teachers with a passion for education, people, and travel for our global voyage departing from Japan in December 2023. Peace Boat is an international NGO building a culture of peace by connecting people across borders and creating opportunities for learning, activism and cooperation. Our teachers facilitate this by empowering our participants with the skills and confidence to use language to make these connections. While this is an unpaid position, Peace Boat covers the cost of visas, port fees, room and board.


Peace Boat's 116th Global Voyage will mainly travel around the Southern Hemisphere, visiting 21 ports in 14 countries. Highlights of the voyage include visiting Rio de Janeiro during carnival season, cruising the Patagonian Fjords, getting to know the Namib Desert, as well as the opportunity to visit Machu Picchu.
