Full Description

Description

Global Volunteers needs people to teach English to College students in the Spanish colonial cities of Dolores Hidalgo and Queretaro in Mexico. You will be a rare and valuable resource in the local students' quest to gain greater English language proficiency. And you will also get to experience the best of Mexico: vibrant cultural practices, strong family traditions, a clear and proud national identity and the local people's determination to improve their future opportunities.

You will teach approximately four hours a day, using the remainder of the day to prepare for class and team meetings. The focus is on English conversation; each class follows a syllabus and uses texts which guide the volunteers through daily lessons. Team members often add examples from their personal lives to liven up the conversations.

 
Cost Details
Service Fee Explanation: These fees support the community's on-going development program as well as your meals, lodging, transportation to and from the work site, project expenses, administrative costs and the services of a trained team leader. The service program fee does not cover free-time expenses or your airfare or other travel to the host community. All fees, including airfare, are tax-deductible for U.S. tax-payers.

Skills Needed/ Experience
We're looking for volunteers with a pioneering spirit who enjoy "hands-on" projects. If that's you, join us in partnership with a friendly community that will leave you feeling invested in the futures of the people you serve.

The focus is on English conversation, not grammar, so virtually anyone can be of service.
 
Detailed Location Information
You will be met at the Leon International Airport by Global Volunteers' team leader and driven to the host community, where volunteers stay at a small comfortable hotel. Rooms are generally double occupancy, but singles may be available. Meals are provided at the universities and local restaurants. The food is typical Mexican cuisine, including fresh tropical fruits, enchiladas, tacos, tortillas and a variety of vegetables. Drinking water is purified.
