Projects are located across various points in the city and surrounding areas, ranging from bilingual schools to a soup kitchen in Villa 21. Before you start, we guide you through public transit routes, daily responsibilities, and your team leaders so your first day is clear and seamless.

Most volunteers combine the program with Spanish lessons, which makes day-to-day communication with children and teachers effortless. Reach out or talk to the reception desk, and we will help you find the project that best fits your travel schedule and personal background.
