Discover more about our Volunteer program in Spain from members of the team and Voluntary Speakers who are on the program or have graduated.

Freya from England. I didn’t think the students would enjoy having me at the school as much as they have. They all seem eager to learn and practice their English, which was a really nice surprise.

I would say I’m much more confident in my ability to up and change my lifestyle and routine, and to travel around. I’m also more confident in my ability to pick up a language, having learnt a lot of Spanish whilst living here. I’m hoping to take up classes once I go home and eventually move here I’ve enjoyed it so much. Professionally, I feel much more confident in my ability to teach to people, children and adults alike (I’ve helped the family with their English too). I always felt a bit scared to teach, but now I think it’s something I can do without too much imposter syndrome.

Shaylee from America. I have noticed a lot of improvements within myself, both personally and professionally. I had prior experience, however I did not have much with older students. I feel much more comfortable and confident now

I would absolutely recommend the program. Know that there will be some difficult moments as you learn to navigate a new country, language, and expectations but it will be so worth it. I have learned so much and the time passes much quicker than you would expect.
