  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


 
  This project includes 20 hours per week of conversational Spanish classes at our language school in Buenos Aires. Knowing the local language will help you connect with the community and get to know the culture on a deeper level.

  "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."

  Sam Epstein
  "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!"

  John Stokes
  “[My favorite part was] getting to see a part of the city I never would have seen otherwise [and] meeting all types of people.”
