School Break Volunteer Program in Quito, Ecuador
Join the School Break program in Quito with International Volunteer HQ and support children during their long school holidays by giving them a safe, structured environment filled with learning and fun. Volunteers help run games, cultural and educational activities, English and other basic lessons, arts or crafts, and personality-building exercises. At the end of the break the children often prepare a small cultural presentation for their parents featuring songs, dances, and performances. This project is offered during school holidays in July and August. Volunteers aged 18 or older (or families travelling together) take part Tuesday to Friday for around three to five hours each day. No formal teaching experience is required because you will work alongside a local teacher. It’s a great fit for people who enjoy interacting with children, are interested in childcare or education, or simply want to make a positive impact. During your time off you will have opportunities to explore Quito’s historic old town, stunning Andean surroundings, vibrant culture and Ecuadorian lifestyle.
