About the program

Volunteers play an integral role in achieving the goals of this project. Speaking English are getting more and more important due to rising tourist numbers especially on the island.

Your job is going to be as a consultant for the English teachers in the schools: You are going to support them in their subject and if you are very confident with the language and you show dedication, you can also support other teachers in several different subjects. Create small exercises for your students, make them smile while they are learning and think of appreciation in the children’s eyes.
You will assist a local teacher at the class or can also create your own lessons if you feel able to do it. Volunteers are needed from around the world. As long as you have a good English level, we are very happy to get your support for the kids!

This is my sixth project and this was the worst organised project I’ve ever been to. Why? - 2 out of the 3 of us didn’t even have a project. They were supposed to go to a shelter and football program and both didn’t exist when we arrived. My project was the only one that was really ...

2023 at Support a Cat and Dog Shelter

Ich war für 4 Wochen in Uvita als Volunteer. Die Arbeit mit den Hunden und Katzen hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Die Arbeitszeiten sind entweder vormittags von 8-11 Uhr oder nachmittags von 15-17 Uhr, sodass man noch sehr viel Freizeit hat. Die Schicht beginnt mit Gassirunden, anschließend ...
I loved my time in Santa Barbara in this program. The work was delightful and fulfilling, but it was a private (and bilingual) school, and the children I was teaching weren't the ones who would've needed it the most, I would say. That being said, I feel that I made a significant change and that my ...
