About the program

Volunteers play an integral role in achieving the goals of this project. Speaking English and other languages like French and German are getting more and more important due to rising tourist numbers.

Your job is going to be as a consultant for the English teachers in the schools: You are going to support them in their subject and if you are very confident with the language and you show dedication, you can also support other teachers in several different subjects. Create small exercises for your students, make them smile while they're learning and think of appreciation in the children’s eyes.
You will assist a local teacher during the day at the class and will learn with small groups in the afternoon (1-3 times a week) a second language if you are a native speaker in English, German or French. Volunteers are needed from around the world. As long as you have a good English level, we are very happy to get your support for the kids!

2022 at School & Educational Supporter

I stayed one month in Puerto Escondido, from mid-May to mid-June. If I had known, I would have stayed longer and arrived earlier because in Oaxaca, the rain season starts in May, and I didn't know. I really liked working at the school. There are around 120 kids, and they are around 15 per class. ..
***English below*** Ich wollte schon immer mit Kindern arbeiten und fand das Schulprojekt in Puerto Escondido die perfekte Möglichkeit dafür, herauszufinden ob das Lehrerdasein wirklich so ist, wie ich es mir vorstelle. Außerdem kommt in Puerto einfach Urlaubsfeeling auf. Traumhafte Strände, ...
Je suis restée 10 jours au refuge d'Ostional (au lieu de 15 jours). J'ai vécu une belle expérience, mais honnêtement, je suis déçue car ce qui est présenté sur le site est en partie faux ! Lorsqu'on lit ce qui est décrit, on peut s'attendre à réellement souvent récupérer des nids et les ...
I loved my time in Santa Barbara in this program. The work was delightful and fulfilling, but it was a private (and bilingual) school, and the children I was teaching weren't the ones who would've needed it the most, I would say. That being said, I feel that I made a significant change and that my ...
