The Experience

Being a classroom assistant will give you the opportunity to deeply engage with a classroom and a teacher. This program will make you understand how life in one of our NDG school works. Volunteers will be paired with a class and aid one of our teachers in any way that is useful, whether it is to cut and glue paper into notebooks, handing out soap or toothpaste, helping kids with in-class worksheets, or homework.

I had an incredible experience at the organization. The volunteer coordinator, Brandon, was so helpful and wonderful to work with. The teachers at the school were incredibly welcoming and kind and made me feel a part of the time. The children at the school were so wonderful to work with and learn from. It was a wonderful opportunity to advance my Spanish and immerse in the beautiful culture of the organization and Ciudad Vieja. I hope to be able to return and volunteer again.

Hello Emily, thank you for your wonderful comment. We are pleased to know that you have had a good experience with us. The children of Guatemala will always be your home.

It has been so lovely to work with you, you have supported us a lot and the teachers have given very positive feedback about your volunteering. A thousand thanks for all your support, help and sacrifice.

We wish you all the best and hope to have you back here soon at the school and at the homestay as well.

I volunteered in the school in ciudad vieja for around 2 weeks and it was such a wonderful experience. I got to interact with the kids and practice my spanish along with help the teacher prepare materials and I even got to lead a short lesson. All the kids at the school were so sweet and the teachers really made us feel welcome. I stayed in a homestay on antigua which was very nice to be right in the heart of the city and be in a home.

The host is great, the home stay was lovely. The program is more relaxed the other I have participated in. You're a TA not a teacher, which is totally ok. I would recommend learning Spanish before hand, I wish I would've done that.

My experience with the organization was magical; to be honest I loved the organization a lot, but above all the organization. I worked with the organization first and Miss Reina; they taught me so much and welcomed me with open arms. I felt very pleasant and comfortable. Brandon is also a very good person and will help you in whatever he can. Very, very recommended, if you really want to help a school in the heart of Guate. Thanks to everyone, I hope to see you soon!

Estuve tres semanas de voluntaria ayudando a la profesora de Preparatoria y fue una experiencia maravillosa. La comunicación y el compromiso del equipo fue innegable y no dudaron en ayudarme en todo lo que necesite. Tuve la suerte de conocer y aprender de Seño Anita, la profe de preparatoria, en la que pude apoyarme desde el inicio. Es una persona excelente y una profesora increíble, así como estoy segura que el resto del personal también lo es. Poder conocer y conectar con los la organización del colegio ha sido de las experiencias más enriquecedoras e increíbles de mi vida.
