Description

Our Greenheart Travel Teach in Chile Program is an excellent way to share your English language expertise with Chilean students while also engaging in an enriching cultural exchange experience abroad. Greenheart Travel has been selected by the Chilean government to send volunteer teachers to northern Chile in partnership with the Chilean Ministerio de Educacion, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the English Open Doors Program. Volunteers will be placed in local schools in the Coquimbo Region (IV), part of the ?Chico Norte? zone, to support the English teaching staff by providing native language instruction and extracurricular activities. The Teach English in Chile program is a full time commitment and is available for 8, 6 or 4 months with specific start dates (see table below).

Detailed Location Information
Volunteers will be met at Santiago?s international airport on their assigned day of arrival and taken to a hostel where they will stay for the two week orientation. From there, each volunteer will head to his or her host community via bus or air depending upon its distance from Santiago. Upon arrival in the host community, volunteers will be met by a local representative and taken to their host family. Most schools are located within walking distance from the host family or a short bus ride away.

At the end of your program, you will return to Santiago for a final gathering and ceremony with other volunteers before departing for home.
