ELIC teachers are required to raise their own financial
support to serve overseas. As a part of your support-raising
package, you will receive a number of benefits. ELIC's
all-inclusive financial profile ensures that all of your
needs are met. Actual costs for the services listed below
are higher than the amount ELIC teachers are required
to raise. ELIC is able to offset those costs through significant
donations from friends and foundations. Contact us to
find out more about the specific costs for Vietnam.

Once you are in Vietnam, you will appreciate the ongoing
support from our U.S. office. From receipting, tracking
and acknowledging donations to formatting and mailing
newsletters, our office is ready to serve your needs.
Prior to arrival at training, experienced staff will assist
you in developing a committed team of supporters, and
equip you with photo cards and other support team building
resources.

Complete Training
One of the hallmarks of our organization is the quality
of training provided to all program participants. In addition
to a complete training manual, seminars on key aspects
of culture, curriculum, and team dynamics are some of
the important training components designed to ensure a
rewarding and positive experience in Vietnam.

Mid-Year Conference in Thailand
Each year, we gather all of our teachers together for an
enriching week of rest and recreation during the mid-winter
break. All conference expenses are covered, including
a transportation allowance from your home in Vietnam.
back to top
Placement on a Team
Each of our teachers lives and works in the context of
community. As an ELIC teacher, you will be placed on a
team in Vietnam. Your team can be a valuable source of
friendship, teaching ideas, and general support overseas.
ELIC will not place an individual in isolation from other
teachers.

Curriculum Resources
Curriculum professionals provide our teachers with resources
specifically designed for our teaching programs. In addition,
each teaching site is equipped with a resource library
for our teachers. Each of these resources is designed
to ensure that you will be able to deliver excellence
and have a positive professional experience.
back to top
Extended Service Support
Because the application and initial care costs apply only
to the first year, the cost of additional years of service
will be slightly lower.
back to top
In-Person Debriefing
ELIC provides an in-person debriefing at the end of
each teacher's time of service with ELIC. The
debriefing is designed to help teachers adjust back to
their home culture and make the transition back to life in
North America.
