ContextThe WFP Egypt Country Office employees regularly engage with international stakeholders and colleagues across the UN system. To strengthen professional communication and reporting quality, WFP seeks experienced online volunteers to support staff in developing practical English language skillsโfocusing on speaking, listening, and writing. Participants will be grouped into beginner, intermediate, and upper-intermediate levels based on a pre-assessment. Each volunteer will be assigned to one group and will work with tailored content designed to meet the specific needs of that proficiency level. Weโre seeking passionate and skilled online volunteers to join us. Your support will empower WFP staff to communicate more effectively, collaborate more confidently, and represent our work with greater impact.
