Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be living and working in towns where foreigners rarely visit, so you will have the opportunity to be truly immersed in the local culture!
I am happy to help you with your Spanish, and you will be in an excellent place to really use it.
People come from all over Colombia to visit Paipa´s thermal hot springs. You will be able to enjoy them as often as you like.
Help
Right now, we are looking for volunteers who wish to teach English classes or help us grow our social media platform. Volunteers with teaching or social media management experience are preferred.
Teachers: Teach English to small classes (generally 2-6 students per class) and assist class with pronunciation activities. We use textbooks from an internationally known publisher.
Social media administrators: Help grow our social media following on various platforms.
From time to time, both teachers and social media administrators may need to help at the reception desk when people come to ask about the different programs.
