Trellis

Trellis is a non-profit organization which uses education as a tool to uplift individuals and communities. We offer comprehensive volunteer, work experience, and job-placement assistance programs for people who want to travel, teach, and live overseas. Whether you’re on a gap year, taking a semester off or just recently graduated, Trellis’ Volunteer and Work Experience Program is perfect for those of you who wish to make your travels productive by creating meaningful experiences, developing in-demand skills, and supporting local communities.

Trellis provides its volunteers with all the training, support, and experience necessary to confidently and constructively teach a foreign language, all within the context of a safe and structured classroom environment. Our volunteers are young adults who want to explore the world and help others while pursuing their own individual aspirations. Upon completion of our program, Trellis can assist our volunteers with securing full-time teaching positions through our network of partners in Japan and Vietnam if they wish to continue onward with their journey overseas. By doing this, we hope to increase access to effective foreign language education globally.
