La Esperanza Granada volunteers work in rural schools. No program fees. Volunteers live in the center of Granada and assist local communities to improve the quality of life through education. The majority of our volunteers work with very young children, often working one on one with children to stimulate their interest in learning. In groups we also hold classes in sports, arts and crafts, etc.. We have a secondary school sponsorship program which provides young people the opportunity to continue their education past 6th grade. Other projects include teaching English to primary grades, taking children for dental visists, eye tests, helping with team sports, reading groups in the community. La Esperanaza Granada also has built schools, extra classroms, improved school facilities, and provides much needed school materials.
We are looking for volunteers to work in the schools. We also need sometimes volunteers for administration and special projects (research, translation, handy work, etc.) Specific placement depends on individual interest as well as our needs. We prefer an 8 week minimum commitment as well as intermediate level Spanish, There are no fees to pay, application is simple and have low cost housing options available in the historic town center of Granada. Your willingness to help is the main qualification we need. We accept volunteers throughout the year, with orientation taking place on Mondays.
