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 conservation, help indigenous communities or get involved in education and medical care, while continuing to practice Spanish with native speakers. Contact us to find out the places and fields in which we offer this experience, so that we can organize the program that best suits your goals and expectations.
