Course description

STUDENT PROFILE
Our Volunteer Programs are aimed at students seeking to learn Spanish in the framework of an experience with social impact. They have a minimum level of B1, and the majority have either already completed one of our intensive Spanish courses or are signed up to take one during their volunteer program.

They are interested in issues such as cultural heritage, ecology, fair trade, and sustainability, and want to participate in activities together with the local community of their destination. This experience will give them the opportunity to use their Spanish to communicate in everyday situations.

BENEFITS OF THE SPANISH VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Our Volunteer Programs give you a global perspective on the various environmental, political, and social issues facing Latin America. This program is offered in combination with our Intensive Spanish courses.

Contribute to environmental and ecological conservation by participating in toucan recovery programs or volunteering with pets in an animal shelter, work together with indigenous communities, or get involved in education and medical care for people young and old, all while continuing to practice Spanish with native speakers.
