Company : Love Volunteers
Location : Costa Rica, San Ramon
Duration: 2 weeks to 1 year
Approx Costs: 50 to 2000 $ Dollars (US)
This essential project was created with the goal of helping to improve the English-speaking abilities of children in beautiful San Ramon.
Volunteers will be working directly with students at an elementary level directly teaching English to children and helping in the classrooms. This is a really hands on program, allowing either qualified teachers or non-teacher volunteers to work closely with children and groups, teaching English.
If the volunteer has skills and experience in other areas, additional subjects may also be taught such as maths and science. Schools in Costa Rica are severely under- resourced and volunteers are desperately sought to help children learn to their full potential. Volunteers in the Teaching English program will help underprivileged children in Costa Rica have a chance at learning this fundamental language and skill to aid their future prospects.
This project is available year-round and programs typically start every 1st and 3rd SUNDAY of each month. Volunteers can choose to participate for periods ranging from 2 weeks to 12 weeks. Longer stays can be arranged directly with the local team, but will be subject to availability and individual visa conditions. Spaces on this project are limited and therefore subject to availability. Early booking is recommended.
Love Volunteers welcomes all those 18 years and over who wish to help create a brighter future for children through the power of education. This project best suits those with experience and/or qualifications in the field of childhood development and education, though volunteers who simply wish to explore an interest in this field are also welcomed as there are many ways you can assist in the classroom. Whist not mandatory, completing a TEFL course prior to joining this project would prove to be highly beneficial. Volunteers on this project will need an understanding of Spanish in order to communicate effectively with staff and students.
Importantly, all applicants must first and foremost have a genuine willingness to help, show drive and initiative, and bring a positive 'can-do' attitude. If this sounds like you, we want you on the team! Additionally, volunteers applying to join this program will be required to supply to following documentation:
