School volunteers primarily work as teachers' aides and are typically placed with a single class of students during their time here. These volunteers vastly improve the quality of education that we can offer the kids. This is especially the case with those students that require more individualized attention when they are studying and learning. Once again, these volunteers are given a lot of autonomy in their jobs and are invited to liven-up the curriculum with activities like theatre productions and art sessions. EDELAC volunteers normally find their own accommodation, but for long term volunteers it is possible to live in the QT Guide House.
What we are looking for
This is a great opportunity to directly help some of the region's most underprivileged kids. We are looking for people with:
- A 1 month minimum time commitment;
- A beginner-intermediate Spanish language ability;
- Availability at least 5 days a week from 8am to 1pm;
- Experience in children's education and/or social work; and,
- A strong desire to work with children.
