Volunteer in an orphanage or government school working with special needs kids. Many have been abandoned due to poverty and many come from violent homes. They need someone to pay attention to them and care for them. The volunteers spend time with them socializing them and if qualified do basic physical therapy. You will also take one on one Spanish lessons with an experienced teacher during your stay.

Volunteers can work in an orphanage or a school. In the orphanage you will work one on one with the child and take care of them, feed them, and play with them. In the school you will work with a teacher who oversees you. While experience working with children with disabilities is helpful it is in no way necessary.

This program is perfect for any level of Spanish. Whether you are an absolute beginner or already know a good amount of Spanish you will definitely learn a lot and feel more comfortable speaking by the end of your course. You take two hours of lessons five days a week in a one to one setting. This allows you to tailor the lessons to your specific needs.

While you’re there you improve your language skills by taking one to one Spanish lessons with an experienced teacher.

Some education experience is necessary for this role. Volunteers plan their own lessons with the help of the books and materials the school provides. If you speak basic Spanish or better you can also teach other subjects such as math or history.

Located in the central highlands town of Huancayo, this after school program provides homework help, education reinforcement and workshops on different creative themes to children from very poor backgrounds. There are normally 35 kids from two to 14 years old in the program at any given time; without this project and the aid of the volunteers these kids would be on the street. Volunteers also take one to one Spanish classes with experienced teachers.

Volunteers help in a very tangible way. You can teach English, art, and sports. You can also incorporate any special skills you might have into a class, meaning if you’ve studied dance for years you could do a dance class! Also you will help with homework and take the kids on field trips!
