Volunteer Host Family
Families provide a safe and comfortable home for during the program.
Furthermore, families genuinely want to show you their culture and learn about yours whilst you help them learn or improve the childrens and maybe also the parent’s English skills. What better way to settle in and adjust to your new life in Spain.
Many people dream of being able to learn a new language, but stumble without the chance to practise face-to-face. Our program provides the best opportunity to learn or improve the local language in a family environment.
Host families provide full bed and board accommodation, private bedroom, washing and cleaning facilities, internet and basically everything else expected from them. This takes a huge financial pressure off the Voluntary Speaker as opposed to living independently.
