Teach New Skills and Improve the Lives of School Children!

Are you a teacher, or do you have experience in teaching? Do you enjoy working with children and want to gain some experience for you future career? Then come with us to Colombia, a rapidly developing and fascinatingly diverse country filled with incredibly welcoming people and stunning landscapes, and bring new skills and teaching methods to disadvantaged children. In so doing, you could encourage them to stay in the countryside and support their community. With your help, they will learn new talents, perspectives, and attitudes that will help them prosper!

​

This project is part of our Colombia Volunteer Circle, in which you can combine up to four projects located in the same region into one comprehensive program.
