Childcare Volunteering Program in Guatemala

Learn Spanish, volunteer with young children in an indigenous community and explore Latin America

Activities: Teaching, Working with Children, Community Development
Countries: Guatemala
Dates: Please visit the GVI website for upcoming start dates.
Length: 2-12 week durations available.
Price: $1,390.00

Volunteers joining this project will be working with children from nursery through initial primary school levels and will be typically working with children from the ages of 4 and upwards concentrating on basic education and literacy. As their teachers, those volunteers placed with younger children will be helping them master all the classroom basics, from holding a pencil, drawing lines, to their first letters and numbers. For those volunteers with more advanced Spanish, you may be teaching with more advanced children in maths, language and sciences. Classes are structured and interactive with lots of different activities for them to master. Please note that due to project dynamics volunteers may be required to assist in other classes with the older children from time to time. This is one of GVI’s most popular volunteer projects, owing to the exceptional volunteer feedback it receives.

How this program makes a difference:

A substantial part of the fee goes towards the day-to-day running costs of the projects themselves throughout the year, which includes rent, electricity, local salaries, fruit and other food for the children, educational materials for classes, monthly birthday and other celebrations, painting and maintenance. We currently pay for over 400 children to attend National School, as well as our own schools. Of these, almost 50 children entered Secondary School and 8 entered College. Included in your fee is one scholarship per child, per year.
