Help Children Learn English

In this Exchange Program, you’ll be volunteering to help children learn English (you’ll spend about a half day on volunteering). No experience is needed, we provide training on our teaching method!

In Mexico, volunteers will be teaching kids who are a range of ages: older kids who speak well enough to answer your questions with some sass, and younger students who’d rather chatter with their friends in Spanish.

In any case, the culture here is really loving which means it’s easy to connect with your students (but you’re also here to be a teacher!). The program here is growing, with neighborhoods who are really interested in the English classes and your service of teaching. Some teaching days may include “trial classes” where students come for the day to see what classes are like.

In typical Mexico style, the teaching schedule fluctuates and changes often, likely without warning. Teachers need to be ready to adjust to several changes. These changes aren’t just in the school; even buses don’t stick to a strict schedule!

If you’re not a huge planner who depends on a set schedule, you’d be a great fit for the laid back culture found in this country.

Experiences In + Around Mexico

You have every weekend off plus vacation time throughout the semester, which leaves plenty of time to travel all over Mexico!

Some favorite Central American countries are just a flight away if you want to visit, but there are so many adventures right in Mexico that volunteers typically want to stick around for their vacations — everything from hot springs in the mountains, cenote swimming holes, sandy beaches, and even a World Wonder are waiting for you.

One of the big perks of Mexico are the dozens of colorful towns to explore that are just a short (and inexpensive) bus ride away. You can have a mini vacation just about every weekend if you want to!
