- Be a highly advanced speaker of English, although not necessarily ‘native’ or ‘first-language’ speaker of English.
- Have experience of, or a definite interest in, the areas of peace and global education in language teaching.
- A qualification in English language teaching and conversational Japanese ability are also preferred, but are not prerequisites for the application.

Due to regulations governing sections of our 83rd and 84th Peace Boat Global voyages we regret that we are unable to accept applications for volunteer teachers from citizens or permanent residents of the USA for those voyages. As such, we encourage USA citizens to apply for the 86th voyage. We regret this situation and apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, and thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
