Whether you can speak Spanish or not, we’re convinced the will to contribute can overcome the most difficult communication barriers. Several volunteer organizations in Central and South America agree with us and are accepting volunteers without any prior Spanish knowledge. These volunteer programs have paired up with Spanish immersion schools giving volunteers the opportunity to learn Spanish during the volunteer program. Volunteer and learn Spanish. Get the best of both worlds!

💃🏽 What is Volunteering with a Spanish Course?

The title reveals it for the most part. When you volunteer for one of the volunteer Spanish immersion programs, you will get the opportunity to learn Spanish alongside your volunteer activities. Volunteering in South America usually requires a basic level of Spanish. This is important to be able to communicate with the local community and the staff of the programs. Without any Spanish skills, you may miss out as you get lost in translation. That’s where Spanish lessons come to the rescue. Enjoy your Latin American volunteer adventure to the fullest as you learn one of the most widely spoken languages in the world!

👍🏽 The Pros and Cons of Volunteering with a Spanish Course

At Volunteer World, we offer such a wide variety of volunteer programs that we believe everyone can find a volunteer project that suits them. If you’re wondering whether volunteering with Spanish lessons is for you, let’s start by taking a look at the pros and cons of this Spanish volunteer adventure:

Pros

  • The opportunity to volunteer abroad and contribute to a meaningful cause by helping a community or the environment.
  • You will learn a new language and contribute to a meaningful project.
  • This is the ideal opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals.

Cons

  • You may have access to less volunteer programs because not all programs in Latin America offer the opportunity to learn Spanish.
  • Learning a new language combined with volunteering can be quite demanding for some people.

It’s always a good idea to get in touch with the organization of the program you are interested in, to get more details. They will be able to inform you about what to expect from the volunteer experience and what you will learn das you study Spanish abroad.

🇪🇸 Why Volunteer and Learn Spanish Abroad?

Volunteer organizations are always searching for motivated volunteers. Programs in Central and South America are aware of the language barrier and are eager to facilitate by offering volunteer Spanish immersion programs. This will provide volunteers who don’t have any Spanish skills with the necessary skills to make the most of their volunteer experience abroad. If you’ve always dreamed of exploring Central or South America, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and the best way to connect with the local community.

Will you be making a difference?
Whether you’re fluent in a language or not, we’re convinced that the intention to help and contribute is key. It’s incredible to see how people who don’t speak the same language manage to communicate and understand each other. Even if your Spanish skills aren’t up to par, we strongly encourage you to continue your volunteer adventure in Central and South America. Join a Spanish immersion program and you’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick it up!

🤔 What Kind of Spanish Course Projects are There?

There are several opportunities to join volunteer programs to learn Spanish. It essentially comes down to what you would like to do as a volunteer. Take into account your passions and your educational background. If you’re looking to hit two birds with one stone, study Spanish abroad during your volunteer project. Let’s take a closer look at the different possibilities:

Cultural Immersion

Have you always wanted to understand the Latino culture? Do you want to feel it with every ounce of your being? Immerse yourself in the culture. Learn how to move your hips to the upbeat tempo of the music and ease into the laidback lifestyle. Tour the region and admire the cultural gems. Take this unique opportunity to volunteer in Spanish and uncover the hidden treasures of Cuba, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru.

Environmental Conservation

If you’re excited about learning one of the most popular languages in the world and want to save the environment, we have the perfect volunteer programs for you. Surfers can ride the waves off the coast of Ecuador and clear the ocean and beaches of plastic. Volunteers who prefer a drier environmental approach can join a sustainable farming project in Costa Rica and learn the ins and outs of sustainable agriculture.

Revel in the beauty of these lush destinations and maintain their natural beauty for many more years to come. Learn Spanish during your environmental activities and so you can connect with the local community.

Education

Volunteers with a background in education can share their experience by volunteering at a school in Central or South America. Even if you don’t have any Spanish skills, we can assure you that’s not a problem. You’ll get the opportunity to learn Spanish during the volunteer program. This will gradually increase your ability to communicate with the students and connect with them on a more profound level. Most educational projects are focused on teaching English. Teach a language as you learn a language!

Internships

Students that want to combine volunteering with their field of study and learning a new language, are in for a treat. There are internships in topics like NGO management and Human Rights that are welcoming motivated volunteers and offer Spanish immersion courses on the side. Volunteers who don’t have any Spanish skills can put their worries aside and continue to follow their dream of gaining international work experience in one of the most fascinating destinations in the world. Do an internship in South America and learn things you can't learn at school.

Animal

If you have a heart for animals, Central and South America will not disappoint. As one of the most biodiverse areas in the world, the hearts of animal lovers will burst. Whether you’re drawn to marine life conservation, longing to help abandoned animals at a shelter, or are keen to take care of animals in the zoo, you’ll find a program offering what you’re looking for. Those fond of our equine friends will also find inspiring projects focused on natural horsemanship.

Volunteers uncertain about their Spanish skills will get the chance to brush up. All projects on this page have teamed up with a Spanish immersion school.

Childcare

Volunteers with experience in childcare can work with children in Latin American childcare centers. Learn Spanish and provide disadvantaged children with the attention they deserve. Make a difference in their lives and rest assured it will also make a difference in yours. Learning Spanish will help you communicate with both the children and the staff.

There are countless opportunities to immerse yourself in the culture and the Spanish language while making a meaningful impact on the environment and local communities of Central and South America. Give back to the community of the country you’re volunteering in and gain an asset you will have forever.

🎯 How to Choose the Right Spanish Course Volunteering Program

The most important part of choosing a great program is doing enough research on the different volunteer organizations and answering the following questions:

  1. What does the organization stand for?
  2. What is their objective and how are they trying to achieve it?
  3. How are the funds they receive spent?
  4. How do you think you will contribute?
  5. What do you think the effect of your volunteer work would be?

Read up on the organization, read reviews and ask previous volunteers about their experience with the organization. There are wonderful organizations that are doing very responsible work which you can be a part of. Take a look at the different volunteer projects on our website.

Be especially careful when you volunteer with children. Do your due diligence before signing up. There are organizations out there that are doing more harm than good by taking advantage of the volunteer industry and exploiting local families and young children. We subject all programs to a screening but you make the final call. Choose wisely and you will be in for an incredible experience.

  3. Make sure you prepare the correct documents to fulfill the visa application for the country you’re traveling to

That’s it! You’re ready for volunteering in Central and South America! Get ready for a life-changing international experience that will have an incredible impact on both your destination and yourself. Discover gems like Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Peru as you learn Spanish abroad!
