Teach English to Argentina’s underprivileged children, adolescents and adults when you volunteer with our Teach English Program in Buenos Aires.
As a volunteer with our Teach English Program, you will be working in local community centers that desperately need teachers and support from native English speakers. You will be responsible for planning your own classes according to your students’ needs and teaching those lessons with creativity, patience and compassion. You will also have to opportunity to help students with their homework, organize games, and assist with administrative work.
Volunteers in Buenos Aires will not only be teaching English to students who would otherwise have little or no language instruction, but will also have the opportunity to mentor and be a role model for young Argentineans at a critical time in their lives.
As a volunteer you can*:
Create lesson plans, develop curriculums and design course materials (flash cards, handouts, activities, etc.)
Teach classes to children, adolescents and adults
Help students with English homework after school
Organize book drives
Fundraise and collect donations of materials (crayons, markers, colored paper, notebooks, scissors, pencils, etc.)
Organize field trips
Develop special English workshops (i.e., games, songs, drama, writing, art, etc.)
Assist with administrative tasks and record-keeping
* Exact activities will depend on time of year and duration of project.
