Teach English to Students in Cali, Colombia
Program Overview
Come, grow with us! The Global Citizen Adventure Corps (GCAC) offers student and adult travelers an immersive one-week experience in vibrant Cali.
Travelers will serve alongside teachers at Colegio Americano (CA), teaching English language skills to students in grades kindergarten through 11. Colegio Americano was founded in 1928 by two American teachers inspired to provide quality bilingual education to children who did not have the opportunity to attend the public schools of the time. In 2013, CA and Bethel University in McKenzie, Tennessee, partnered to bring students from the US to Cali for a week of teaching and learning.
GCAC travelers volunteer daily in CA. In the evening, you may participate in activities, including salsa dancing lessons, chiva bus tours, and market shopping. Teachers from CA join in the nightly activities, allowing guests and hosts to form lasting friendships. For participants who are university students or high school juniors and seniors, 3 hours of transferable college credit is available from Bethel University.
