If you are up to the challenge of helping a variety of different students whilst learning a new language and becoming immersed in a completely different culture then Ecuador is for you. Volunteers will attend a one or two week language course in Quito before starting their placements. Ecuador is unique among our programmes in that it offers each volunteer the chance to work at two placements each day, perhaps teaching in the mornings and working with street children in the afternoons. This gives you the chance to make a difference to two distinct communities during your time in Ecuador. We have opportunities to work with children n young adults teaching music. Any instruments or singing will be greatly appreciated by the local commnity! Placements will also require volunteers to help with Englisg teaching too. So if you are looking for a varied role in Latin America this could be for you! All applicants are matched to placements to ensure that there is a good fit between the volunteer and their host communities.

Accommodation and Food
All volunteers will live with a host family whose son or daughter is volunteering in the UK. You will therefore be included in all family activities and it is an excellent opportunity to be part of the Ecuadorean way of life. Living with a family is also the best way to learn Spanish and when you leave you will have gained a second mum, dad, and brothers and sisters who you will never forget.
This placement would suit:
Someone with an interest in teaching music as well as English as a foreign language. Volunteers work on two placements and live with host families, which is a great way to improve Spanish speaking skills and immerse yourself in the community and culture.
Do you accept non UK citizens?
yes
User Comments:
“I believe I came away from Yunguilla a Yunguillan- at least in part. Between teaching in the school, being allowed to take part in their meetings and being invited to milk cows or make jam, I cannot remember ever feeling unwelcome. I felt so involved in community life that, at times, I couldn’t remember what it was like to live anywhere else. I learnt a tremendous amount in those five months. As I packed my things, sad at having to leave, I truly felt like I was leaving home. I didn’t feel like I had been on a gap year project.”
