Join us at Liceo Dr. Ricardo Bressani in Cobán, Guatemala, for a meaningful cultural exchange! We welcome native English speakers and fluent English speakers who enjoy conversation, sharing cultures, and connecting with students.
Your main role will be to help students practice English in a friendly and engaging environment through conversations, educational games, group activities, and cultural exchange. You will help students build confidence, improve their communication skills, and discover new perspectives.
We believe learning a language is also an opportunity to connect people and cultures. Share your experiences, interests, and talents while discovering Guatemalan culture and becoming part of our educational community.
Your activities may include:
• Practicing conversational English with students individually and in small groups.
• Leading interactive games, discussions, and activities that encourage students to speak English.
• Sharing stories, traditions, and cultural experiences from your home country.
• Supporting English learning activities and helping students build confidence.
• Sharing additional interests or talents, such as art, music, sports, science, or technology.
Activities and schedules will be coordinated with the school's team according to student needs and the academic timetable. Your participation will focus on conversation and cultural exchange rather than replacing the school's teachers.
The schedule and responsibilities will be explained before you begin.
• Treat all students, teachers, staff, and community members with respect.
• Follow the school's rules, schedules, and instructions.
• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries with students.
• Never use offensive, discriminatory, or inappropriate language or behavior.
• Respect students' privacy and do not take or share their photos without authorization.
• Communicate openly with the program coordinator and report any concerns.
• Participate with responsibility, patience, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude.
• Respect the school's educational environment and contribute to a safe, inclusive, and welcoming atmosphere.
We expect all volunteers to act responsibly and help create a positive experience for everyone.
