Do You Have Questions About Finding a J-1 Teaching Position?

Do you have questions about finding a J-1 teaching position? For the 2025-2026 school year, Spirit Cultural Exchange encourages interested Teacher Program applicants to identify their own position before applying to Spirit Cultural Exchange. You can review the recording from our Independent Application Webinar held on October 22. During the webinar, we talked through the following points:

• Tips for finding a J-1 teaching position
• How to start your online Spirit application
• What documents are needed to apply for Spirit’s program?

Please note, Spirit Cultural Exchange will not provide a list of schools who participate in the program. However, during the webinar we talked through a list of suggested websites you can use to start your search and mentioned the states in which we currently place teachers. Have you already received a written position offer for the 2025-2026 school year? Congratulations! Spirit Cultural Exchange will be opening our 2025-2026 application portal on November 4, 2024. We suggest you review the webinar to get insights into the online application process.
