We understand
that many people who have completed their university studies do
not need an internship experience in other countries. However,
for the purpose of solidarity or for other reasons, these people
may wish to help by sharing time and knowledge with members of
the community or other organizations in the city. Volunteer work
positions are the same as internships but without a formal evaluation.
The Spanish language school participates in a
variety of social projects, and uses its contacts with national
and international agencies world-wide to place volunteers in specific
fields and carry out supervised volunteer work. Through volunteer
work, volunteers gain insight into social issues and problems
facing Guatemala and help to contribute to their solutions, while
at the same time gaining valuable educational experience. The
programs that Spanish school supports are in turn enhanced by
the abilities, energy, and goodwill that volunteers bring, thus
strengthening the bonds between social work, educational institutions,
and cultural organizations.
Please note:
Applications and inquiries will be processed in the order they
are received. It may take several days to receive a response.
