Job - Concordia Language Villages
International students: Are you interested in a summer opportunity to share your language and culture with young Americans who are eager to learn?
Since 1961, Concordia Language Villages (CLV) has pursued a vision of peace and understanding by educating young people in world languages and cultures. Located in northern Minnesota, this program provides an opportunity for students to share their language and culture in an innovative, nationally and internationally recognized language education program. During one-, two-, and four-week sessions, participants ages 7-18 are immersed in language and culture through the food, music, sports, arts, and crafts that are typical of the target language. Some programs include a one-week family session as well.
CLV hires international staff, both those studying or living in the United States and those abroad, in addition to U.S. citizens who are proficient. A teaching credential is not necessary; CLV provides an orientation. Some specialized positions ("credit teacher") require a teaching credential.
Programs are offered in 15 other languages: Arabic, Chinese, Danish, English (ESL), Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. International staff may apply for a J-1 visa (in the camp counselor category) through CLV. For international students in the United States, those on an F-1 student visa may be employed through use of OPT or CPT and those on a J-1 student visa need a letter from the advisor stating that employment is related to course of study.

N.B.: In addition to Minnesota locations, where all 15 languages are offered, small Spanish and French programs take place in Georgia and a small Italian program takes place in New Jersey.
