Teaching English as a Second Language
Teaching English as a Second Language is one of our most popular projects in each country. From the very beginning, many of our partners asked us to come prepared to teach them English. A necessary skill in today's globalized market, English can often open doors to employment, financing, education, grants, and international attention through marketing.
English classes serve different purposes in each country, which you can read by clicking on the country of your choice in the menu above. These projects are an excellent way for volunteers who may not be fluent in Spanish or Portuguese to get involved directly with the people of Latin America and develop lasting relationships. It also serves as an excellent window into another aspect of development: education. As you read about our English programs in each country we think you'll agree that it is one of our most successful projects.
