Volunteering

With us, you have the opportunity to do volunteer work.

We can seek the appropriate area you desire working in - may it be in the health, education or social work area.

For most of the students, who did volunteer besides learning Spanish, it was a really immersive experience they would not want to miss.

Try it out yourself!
