Our Volunteer Programs are aimed at students seeking to learn Spanish in the framework of an experience with social impact. 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.
