Volunteers of the world, come and give us a hand in TALTAL and PAPOSO!!!
Our main goal is to create and to bring access for people that live on isolated cities to an English learning initiative based on ALTERNATIVE schooling systems focusing on cultural exchange with English speaking volunteers.
Founded in 2013, the school is a privately run, independent, nonprofit, volunteer-based organization that teaches English to the people in Taltal, Paposo and from 2019 we have been organising "SUMMER CAMPS" in different towns along the country.
We carefully select volunteers who are able to offer extensive range of experiences and knowledge in fields such as arts, sports, agriculture, communication and languages from all corners of the world alongside many more skills they can offer. You can impact the lives of numerous children and people by donating your time and energy volunteering. Your help in our school will provide children, workers (man and women), young workers and peoplein general an opportunity to share their experiences, style of life and the most important practice their English.
Due to COVID-19, 2020-2021 we put on halt a new project we were working on, and we had to convert our system in to a virtual lessons scenario supported by online platforms, for most of our students. Nonetheless 2022 has brought us back to the classroom again. We have partnered with a strong ally this year that will support and collaborate on our joint project to amplify and bring to life our schooling program.
This 2022, we have reduced the number of students in each classroom to just 8 students in face to face lessons.
We deeply encourage all volunteers to apply for this amazing community-volunteer experience we will build together, and we can assure you won't forget!

Arbeit
Becoming a volunteer in our School of English is both; easy and rewarding. You can contribute on a wide range of the volunteer’s interests, talents, skills, and knowledge. There are opportunities for our volunteers to work in every and any aspect of the school; whether it is teaching children and helping them with their homework, playing a game, sharing and enjoying some meals, by simply sharing your time, experiences and knowledge with them you are making a difference in their lives.
We need your help at:
• Teaching English
• Creating activities for kids
• To improve student’s English Skills, sharing experiences
• To publicize our school and city as a place for volunteering
The voracious need this School of English has to seek and learn about English – is both awe-inspiring and humbling. Volunteering with this school will give you an intimate insight into a new and exciting world. A world where people from our different schools are a privilege and a gift, where we will do the best for looking after you as a volunteer, and where you can change the lives of people and children just by being with us/them.

I spent nearly 3 months of my life in Taltal and I have to say, looking back, the time I spent there was amazing. You are going to meet so many people and you'll definetly learn to step out of your comfort zone. I gained a lot of self-consciousness during my time there and I learned to view many things in a different way.
