Committed volunteers play a crucial role in providing one-on-one attention, tutoring. Together with our local team, we care for beneficiaries at the center and during home visits.

Regole

Basic Spanish skills are required but there are many activities where very little Spanish is needed and even beginners can be involved with meaningful work. Additionally we offer free Spanish language classes on a regular basis. Enthusiasm, self-reliance, patience, and an open mind are essential. Experienced volunteers in teaching, working with children, or diverse challenges are encouraged to apply. Individuals, families, and groups of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. We offer full support, and 24/7 backup. An ideal volunteer is proactive, result-focused, patient, and can work autonomously with our supervision. Feel free to bring arts & crafts materials. Join us in making a positive impact!

Time Commitment: A minimum time commitment of 2 weeks is required

Availability: This program is ongoing throughout the whole year. During summer holidays we offer summer-camp activities with the help of volunteers. Last week of December and the first week of January are Christmas holidays!
