Study Spanish & Volunteer in Santiago, Chile

The National Registration Center for Study Abroad offers a Spanish language study program and a variety of volunteering projects in Santiago, Chile. Volunteers spend 20 hours per week in group Spanish classes, learning the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Spanish is the only language of instruction in class. Classes run for about 55 minutes per day. To make sure volunteers get enough progress in the language, they should spend 4-12 weeks in class if they are beginners, and 2-12 weeks if they have intermediate to advanced proficiency. After four weeks in language study, volunteers will then be placed in volunteering positions in communities for another four weeks. Placements are available in the fields of Healthcare, Childcare, Education, Indigenous Community, and Environmental Care.
