Volunteers are invited to share their language, skills, and life experiences within a living alternative educational community. One of the main areas of support is teaching English to children between 6 and 12 years old through an active and creative approach. English is not taught in a traditional classroom setting, but through the accompaniment and development of educational, artistic, and playful activities that encourage participation, curiosity, and meaningful learning.
Volunteers also collaborate in creative workshops, community projects, and cultural activities, as well as accompany children during field trips and outdoor learning experiences. These outings involve processes of exploration and inquiry in natural environments, such as nearby landscapes, rural areas, and natural spaces, where learning emerges through direct contact with nature and the territory.
In addition, volunteers take part in the daily life of the community by supporting everyday tasks and helping care for shared spaces. We deeply value the exchange of knowledge, languages, perspectives, and life experiences as a central element of community life, mutual learning, and intercultural connection.
The accommodation is located in the province of Concepción, about 14 kilometers from the district of San Agustín de Cajas, where the Learning Community is located. Daily transportation between the accommodation and the community, as well as accompaniment during the journey, is provided by the host family.
Volunteers stay in a welcoming, traditional family home in Concepción. Accommodation includes a private room on the second floor with a single bed and a nightstand; if there are two volunteers, we have an additional bed. The bathroom is shared with the host family.
From Monday to Friday, volunteers, accompanied by their hosts, travel to the school by public transportation. The school's class schedule is from 8:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. During this time, volunteers teach five English classes (each class lasts 50 minutes) to small groups of children (two or three children per class). The classes are personalized. The children are friendly, curious, and fun-loving.
If the volunteers are interested (it's optional), they can also teach about their country's culture, or about their profession or trade. We want the children to learn a lot.
