 Teach English to children in need when you volunteer with our Teach English Program in Guatemala.
You will be working with local teachers and students at our partner organization in Antigua, Guatemala. The majority of the population in Guatemala is under 18, and many young people are in great need of help. Many of these children are far below the poverty level, or even on the streets, and education for some is not even an option, much less a priority. As a volunteer with our Teach English Program, you will have the opportunity to give these children the education and support they need and deserve.
You will be able to join an established teaching project or have the unique opportunity to organize an English program on your own. In addition to teaching English, you will be working to create a positive learning environment for the children through games, activities, crafts and stories. As a volunteer with our Teach English Program, you will not only further the chances that these underprivileged children have to succeed, but you will also be a positive role model affecting them for the rest of their lives.
As a volunteer you
will be:
 Teaching English to children
Tutoring children in various other subjects
Helping current teachers organize activities
Assisting our local partners in organizing an
English program
Helping with class structure and new ideas to
promote learning
*Beginner Spanish-speakers will be required to attend
Immersion Spanish classes full-time for the first 2 weeks
of their program before they can begin volunteer work.

“My
favorite part was getting to know the local
people; in the school where I taught, the
host family—who were exceptional—and
the people at the language school. I owe
them a great debt in helping me get ready
for the classroom. Had I known how much
I would enjoy it, I would have stayed longer.”
