📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
One, Two…Tree! is a non-profit organization focused on education in Central America. In Guatemala, we are based in Santiago Atitlán, a beautiful small town with a lot of history and an important indigenous culture that make volunteering here both a unique and authentically Guatemalan experience. Our focus in Santiago is to provide English classes to primary school children, teens and adults. We collaborate with schools, where our volunteers teach 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders. We believe in education as a way to promote cultural exchange and sustainable growth for communities.
We are all volunteers in this team of dedicated people who give a hundred percent of our energy, knowledge and motivation to teach English lessons and promote intercultural exchange and education. Both part-time and full-time volunteers are welcome!
🏠 Accommodation on site
We help the volunteers find accommodation with a local host family. Prices range between $150 and $330 per month depending on whether they want food, internet and laundry included. Staying with a family allows the participants to get a truly local experience of the culture and the traditions of the country. As it comes to transportation we help the volunteers with booking the shuttles that go to Santiago Atitlan from the capital. There is a variety of options the participants can choose from, depending on their budget and preference.
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will be trained in the use of our academic materials upon their arrival. These materials are standard throughout our organization and they follow the EFL international levels. All this work is organized and managed on-the-ground by our Volunteer Coordinator. She organizes the arrival, accommodation and teaching schedule of our volunteers in Guatemala.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We need our volunteers to be fluent in English and Spanish. It is important that they are able to work in a multicultural setting and prove to be culturally sensitive and capable of connecting across diverse cultural and linguistic environments. Finally, our participants need to commit to this volunteer position for a minimum of one month, and two months for part-time volunteers, though ideally they would stay for at least 3 months.
Deadline: No application deadline
