This project is an affordable school for the children of the town whose parents belong to the working class. Children have access to languague education.

Volunteer's Tasks

The volunteers use their knowledge of English to help the students in group classes. The presence of native speakers evidently is very helpful to the children’s learning of the language.

Your role in the school will be proportionate to your level of Spanish and the amount of time you can volunteer for. Consequently, this program is ideal for undergraduate students of modern languages on a year abroad, particularly those interested in teaching. If your Spanish and/or time is limited, you will be able to assist classes.

Why is this project important for the community?

Although there are no professional teachers, the volunteer teachers provide a rich and cultured education. Other English schools are between three to five times more expensive than this one, therefore, parents living in nearby neighborhoods are not able to send all of their children to study English. This is why the school is important for the community; it allows all the children to have the same opportunities and access to education, and it is also a way to fight for social justice. There is a lack of infrastructure, such as running water and paved roads in this particular neighbourhood and it is also known to be “left aside” because the state does not intervene. However, the school helps the families and also the young people of the town, because it also provides a first-job opportunity to students that are more advanced. This allows students to have a disposable income with which they can travel; an almost foreign opportunity to most.

Local Coordination

Silvia, the owner and director of the school, is also the coordinator for Voluntario Global there. She has made this a place of recreation, where the children come in the late afternoon, after going to school, to study English while taking a cup of tea in a relaxed and family atmosphere.

What can you learn as a volunteer?

Learning is a two-way street because the volunteer also learns through this experience. Their official duties are to assist the teenaged teachers, help them with pronunciation or grammatical rules, correct homework, read and explain to the children the basic elements of the language. Moreover, they can also help the oldest students get ready for international exams. This work allows the volunteer to exchange with people from different cultures, mainly thanks to the mix between communities from various countries of Latin America. Furthermore, teaching is the perfect exercise to learn how to speak to an audience and to get its attention. The volunteer learns to communicate with the youngest children who don't speak English correctly, and is able to learn how to adapt quickly and use other means of communication. Above all, the volunteer is able to create relationships with their students that will go beyond the classroom.

How does your work impact on the community?

Not only does this school offer the families a chance to further their education, it also provides a center for community. It is a place of exchange and hope, based on the idea that the children are able to study and to have a good future, because their parents were not awarded with the same opportunities even if the schools and the best universities are free. Students are able to connect more intimately with the volunteers and share their cultural differences, their accents, theirs travels and more. The volunteers also symbolize hope for the students that admire them because they are role models. They make the students believe in a brighter future and instil in them the motivation and aspiration to achieve their goals, no matter how big and regardless of their current socioeconomic status.

Schedule

The school is open from March to mid-December and works Monday through Friday, 4.30 to 7.30pm. It welcomes between 80 and 90 students of all levels and ages, for two-hour lessons. They also teach on Saturday morning to adult students, but the volunteer will be able to choose if to attend on the weekends or not.

Fee includes (600 USD):

• Pre departure information.
• In country coordination.
• Tutoring, constant communication and guidance with your coordinator and Exchange Volunteer Meetings.
• Volunteer Certificate and Performance Evaluation

Why is this project important for the community?

This project is important because the institute is located in a working-class neighbourhood where learning English can be useful since the majority of the locals would never have the opportunity to speak English or meeting native speakers in their area. The hardest thing is being able to keep up with modern and technological demands and also keeping the students interest in learning the language and getting to know different cultures. 

 Volunteer's Tasks

Volunteers are expected to assist teachers in class. The presence of native speakers evidently is very helpful to the children’s learning of the language, but anyone with knowledge of English and enthusiasm to get to know another part of Buenos Aires is welcome. When they reach the last level, namely 6th year, they are expected to have reached an upper-intermediate or advanced level of the language and to sit an international exam called Cambridge First Certificate.

Local Coordination

This English Institute opened in 2000 offering courses of English for children and teenagers in particular, and eventually for adults. It is located in Ciudadela, a small middle class town just outside the city of Buenos Aires. You can take either the bus or train to get there, which will take approximately 1 hour. On your first day, you will have an informal chat with the director, Laura, where she will explain how the school runs and tell you in which classes you can help.

What can you learn as a volunteer?

You will have the chance to know another part of Buenos Aires, commuted with the locals, and amplify your perspective immersing on the day to day of a working class neighbourhood. Assisting the english classes at this institute gives volunteers the opportunity to learn about different aspects of the argentinian culture and deepen cultural exchange in an educational environment .

How does your work impact on the community?

This school amplify the chances to further their education, and provides students the opportunity to forge a brighter professional future. Students are also able to bond with the volunteers through their cultural differences, their accents, theirs travels and more.

Schedule

Courses are delivered from Monday to Thursday in the afternoon. Students attend the classes previously coordinated with the director, and depending on the course, classes last 60, 75 or 90 minutes

Fee includes (600 USD):

• Pre departure information.
• In country coordination.
• Tutoring, constant communication and guidance with your coordinator and Exchange Volunteer Meetings.
• Volunteer Certificate and Performance Evaluation
