    Leyendo con niños: Summer Literacy Travel Ambassador to Central America

    We would love to have you join us as a Books For A Better World Literacy Ambassador this summer as you deliver children's books to children and teachers in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, or Nicaragua. We are looking for positive and energetic people who speak Spanish, love adventure, and adore reading to children.

    Dates are flexible and depend on the volunteers, but we usually travel during July or August. You will travel with a group of 2-5 volunteers, including an experienced leader, staying in a hostel or with a host family.
