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

"I went to a soup kitchen
[three times a week] to teach English to a group of
children. I was thrilled to see how excited the children
were to learn and how patient they were with me in the
beginning. “It was very rewarding to
know that as a volunteer, you are making an impact on
these children’s lives and showing them how much
you care."

"I really feel
like I had a positive impact on several students' desire
and motivation to learn English, which was very rewarding.
My host stay was wonderful and my Spanish teachers were
great!"
