The ability to speak English gives Guatemalans a genuine opportunity to find work and build a career in tourism, business, or teaching.
Volunteers play an integral part in providing free English to adults and children so they can learn English. Volunteers work in a variety of settings including English learning programs for the poor, public schools, community centers, and public libraries. Work varies but generally consists of providing tutoring to local students, setting up workshops, assisting local teachers and organizing educational games and activities. Classes are taught in the mornings or evenings. Volunteers also participate in cleaning and fixing up the teaching areas as well as fundraising, and collecting donations of books and other educational materials.NB Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.
