Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will have the opportunity to experience the rich traditions and culture of Lancaster city and the surrounding area. The Lancaster area has many opportunities to learn and grow. You will have the opportunity to meet new people, cook, garden, and learn with us. We also have convenient bus and train access to Philadelphia and New York City. We live in Lancaster which is a small city of about 50,000. Our house is a short 2-3 block walk to downtown. A bus stop is across the street and the main bus terminal is only three blocks away. Lancaster is a thriving town with many restaurants, art galleries, theaters, churches, library, music, film, museums, and other cultural events and activities. Many of these are within walking distance.

Help us learn and practice Spanish in our day to day life. A couple hours of focused Spanish learning and practice each day would be helpful. You will also assist with cooking, sharing recipes, and some general help around the house. If you enjoy gardening, you can help with our small garden. We would be happy to show you around our town. We have an extra bicycle for you to use.
