| teachUM is the newest arm of United Methodist
Volunteers In Mission of the North Central Jurisdiction. It
was initiated in 2003 to provide mission team service opportunities
for those in educational professions. Teachers are needed all
over the globe to help instruct both youth and adults and show
by example how Christ is part of their lives. Examples of teachUM
teams are Vacation Bible Schools, camp counseling for underprivileged
children, teaching English as a second language, teaching in
United Methodist classrooms around the world . Each year the
teachUM steering committee schedules a variety of teams with
teaching emphasis both in the U.S. and abroad. |
