For Volunteer Teachers

Volunteer teachers are uniquely positioned to directly interact with, and make a lasting impact on, the children living in the orphanages. Although the opportunity has great potential for success, it carries with it a heavy responsibility for which JM holds its volunteers strictly accountable.

How to Get Involved

If you are a practicing Christian in the Seoul area please join us at our monthly prayer meetings on the last Saturday of each month at Sangrok Children's Home. There you can meet with the JM staff, share with current volunteers, and gain a clearer understanding of the dynamics of the ministry.

A volunteer application, which includes a Statement of Faith, is required before attending the training/information session. A volunteer contract, committing at least six months of service, is also required. All three are prerequisite for placement at an orphanage. Click here for further explanation of requirements.

As a faith community, JM's volunteer staff intentionally draw strength and unity from their common commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ and from their communion of prayer. JM is legally accountable for all of its volunteers and therefore reserves the right to allow participation along lines of shared religious convictions. JM requires all volunteers to practice a mature Orthodox Christian faith as defined by the Apostles' Creed.

*Most orphanages require at least a six month commitment from volunteers. This is because their children have all faced abandonment in different measures and are in need of longer-term, faithful relationships.
